Overnight wildfires raging across southern California forcing thousands of evacuations.
Sandy fire in Simi Valley now scorched more than 2,100 acres just 30 miles from Los Angeles.
That fast-moving fire has threatened neighborhoods.
This time-lapse video shows the race to escape. The winds howling, smoke and embers flying as
families grab what they could. The sky turning orange, headlights barely visible as they pulled
away and disappeared. Randy Biles' doorbell camera alerted him the fire was nearby and his
wife was still inside. It was so smoky you couldn't see through here. It was really bad that's why I
didn't know she wasn't here. Officials have been trying to gain the upper hand on these fires for
days. Calmer winds have helped. Firefighters are still battling hot spots and rugged terrain.
We're constantly monitoring whether there's communications happening between the different
divisions and making assessments of where the fire is going to move. The Bain fire in Riverside
County burning nearly 1,500 acres. Three people suffering smoke inhalation, another taken to a
hospital with traumatic injuries. And nearby the Verona fire destroying at least three structures.
And conditions have been slowly improving helping firefighters start to get the upper hand. The
sandy fire here is now 22 percent contained but new fires are sparking up every day.
Guys and that is a major concern. Trevor, thank you.
