Mohler said 800 firefighters worked overnight to contain the fire but struggled to reach it.
\"The fire is fueled by thick brush in a riverbed that hasn't burnt in years,\" Mohler told the Associated Press. \"The fire is creating its own weather, so firefighters are having difficulty getting in there.\"
Mohler said there had been no injuries or building damage, but he said the fire had come within a half a mile of some homes.
Dana Estrella told ABC News she evacuated her home Saturday night.
\"It's scary,\" she said. \"There's not much water because of the drought, so everything is really dry.\"
Another resident, David Mejia, slept at his mother's home Saturday and returned home today to what he called a still smoky scene.
\"I wanted to come back this morning to see if my house is still here,\" Mejia said. \"People don't know what a fire is like unless they actually hear it. It's like a roar.\"
