Winds approaching seventy miles per hour helped spread the fire to over one thousand acres.
Over seven hundred firefighters are battling the blaze.
The winds also kept firefighting aircraft from joining the fight.
Due to spreading blaze, officials ordered the evacuation of thousands of residents, from nearly two thousand homes and the closure of seven schools.
High temperatures, possibly reaching triple digits, low humidity, and continued winds are expected to continue making things difficult, for the next few days.
