The Mount Charleston fire, burning about twenty-five miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, has forced the evacuation of more than five hundred people.
It began on Thursday, and sped through dry brush and trees, aided by winds, low humidity, and high temperatures.
Flames as high as two hundred feet have helped spread the lightning sparked fire to over eleven thousand acres.
A Type 1 incident team has taken over command of more than four hundred firefighters and ten aircraft.
They have been able to keep it from claiming any buildings or lives.
Las Vegas has been under a health advisory since Thursday night, when smoke started hitting the city.
