On Wednesday afternoon, the Silver Fire began near Banning.
The fast moving flames tore through at least twenty-nine structures, severely burnt one person and injured two others, and grew to more than fourteen thousand acres by Thursday night.
More than fifteen hundred firefighters and fifty-seven aircraft are battling the flames.
Authorities say that they do have twenty percent containment, on the fire.
Officials have ordered the evacuation of several communities: Cabazon, Mt. Edna, Poppet Flats, Silent Valley, Snow Creek, Twin Pines, Twin Pines Ranch, and Vista Grande.
