The wildfire tearing through Southern California’s San Bernardino County is now endangering more than 36,000 structures, according to emergency officials.

Uncontrolled wildfires scorched thousands of acres Sunday in the mountain communities of San Bernardino County near Lake Arrowhead and in the Angeles National Forest north of Glendora.

Some Southern California residents were forced from their homes Saturday after an explosive wildfire grew by more than 3,000 acres in mere hours – and is burning so intensely that it is creating its own weather.
