Wildfires raging in California are nowhere near to being contained.
The fire in Redding, northern California has already burned down some 500 homes and now threatens thousands more.
The fire has burned an area reported to be over 300 square kilometers, or as some have put it, the size of the city of Philadephia.
Five people have died in the fires -- two firefighters,... and a grandmother and two of her grandchildren.
Media reports say there are another dozen or so people missing.
There are also large fires near Yosemite National Park and in the mountains east of Los Angeles.
In the Los Angeles fire, a man has been arrested and charged with arson related to nine separate fires.
The weather is not helping with putting them out. It's very hot with almost no humidity.
