A state of emergency has been declared in San Bernardino County as firefighters continue battling a 17,000-acre blaze amid a sweltering heat wave that’s been scorching Southern California.

The quick-moving Line Fire began burning in Highland on Thursday and has since grown to 17,459 acres as of Sunday, according to Cal Fire. Thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate their homes as crews not only battle the blaze, but the elements that are contributing to the fire’s growth.

About 600 firefighters are working to contain the fire, which is threatening roughly 8,000 structures near its path.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s state of emergency proclamation allows for state aid in the firefight and support for residents who may be impacted.
