California: The most recent wildfire in California has spread rapidly to the state's central mountains, just as firefighters were fighting a major fire south of Los Angeles, officials said Sunday.

According to the official Cal Fire website, mosquito fires have now consumed more than 41,000 acres (16,600 ha) of land in the Sierra Nevada Range northeast of San Francisco in just four days.

According to Cal Fire, parts of El Dorado and Placer counties account for only 10% of the fires.

According to the report, strong winds were pushing the fire to the north and northeast, threatening hundreds of homes, although after more than a week of scorching heat, cold temperatures had slowed the fire's progress somewhat.

According to Cal Fire, the small town of Foresthill is in danger, and "a number of additional evacuation orders and warnings have been issued."

According to the daily Sacramento Bee newspaper, the towns of Georgetown, Volcano and Bottle Hill received orders to leave as soon as possible.

Josh Manzer of Volcanoville told the Bee that although this is the fourth time they have evacuated the area, it is the worst.

According to Cal Fire spokesman Chris Vestal, this particular wildfire has "nowhere that's flat," despite the fact that wildfires in California often occur over challenging terrain.

Even the access roads, which usually exist in those areas, have no existence.

According to officials, aircraft and helicopters are assisting the ground crew as soon as the weather permits.

Firefighters were able to control the huge Fairview Fire south of Los Angeles, after a tropical storm was followed by rain and cool temperatures on Saturday, according to officials.

Officials said the fire, which was scorching by sweltering heat in the US southwest, killed two people and destroyed 20 buildings.

A historic drought that lasted more than 20 years in the western United States is worsening due to climate change caused by human activity, according to scientists.

Due to overgrowth and dryness of a large part of the countryside, forest fires can spread rapidly and with great devastation.
