Evacuation orders have been issued in areas threatened by the Lake Fire and Ranch2 Fire in California's Los Angeles County; the Mosier Creek Fire in central Oregon; and the Pine Gulch, Grizzly Creek and Cameron Peak fires in Colorado.
More than 100 homes were evacuated in the rugged hills near Lake Hughes in LA County as the blaze exceeded 11,000 acres. Three structures have been destroyed, and more than 5,000 others are threatened, according to the LA County Fire Department.
