News summary

Three major wildfires in Southern California have expanded significantly, injuring at least 13 people, including firefighters, and prompting evacuation orders. The Airport Fire in Orange County has burned nearly 35 square miles, sparked by heavy equipment, while the Bridge Fire in the Angeles National Forest grew from 4,000 acres to 34,000 acres in just one day, threatening thousands of homes. The Line Fire, attributed to suspected arson, has charred over 27,000 acres and is only 14% contained. Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in San Bernardino County, mobilizing resources to combat the fires. Cooler temperatures are expected to provide some relief, but the fires have already caused extensive damage and forced evacuations in multiple communities. The wildfires coincide with hazardous conditions across the West, including other significant fires in Nevada, prompting thousands to evacuate.
