San Bernardino Brush Fire Forces Evacuations as California Fires Rage at Record Pace
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Northern California, the massive Caldor Fire has spread to less than
20 miles from population centers in Lake Tahoe after it destroyed
hundreds of homes. In Southern California, a rapidly expanding brush
fire in San Bernardino County forced over 1,000 people to evacuate their
homes northeast of Los Angeles. California remains on pace to record its
worst-ever fire season - topping the previous record set in 2020.
