California's massive Line Fire continues to burn thousands of acres in San Bernardino County. As of Tuesday morning, the blaze reached 26,426 acres and was 5% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The wildfire was discovered last Thursday, according to InciWeb's data. It's located in San Bernardino County, around 121 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
The fire is spreading towards the northeast direction, according to Daily Press, a part of the USA TODAY Network. However, the cooler weather will help moderate the flames below the marine level.
Over 36,000 structures, including single and multi-family homes, commercial buildings, and others, are threatened by the fire, and thousands are forced to evacuate.
The fire also set areas of the San Bernadino National Forest ablaze.
A Damage Inspection Team was ordered, and there were more than 1,700 personnel assigned to fight the fire while more resources arrived from other parts of California.

Airport and Davis fires grow
The Airport Fire in Trabuco Canyon of Orange County, California has set over 5,000 acres ablaze and is 0% contained. The fire is believed to have been started by a crew working on fire prevention measures.
The fire was reported on Monday at 1:27 p.m., according to InciWeb.
The dry, hot weather allowed the fire to grow quickly. It has set 5,432 acres ablaze in Orange County. Orange County Fire Authority and the Cleveland National Forest responded to the fire.
Meanwhile, the Davis Fire, south of Reno, Nevada, was started on Saturday and has since set 5,000 acres on fire, shutting down schools and forcing families to leave their homes, according to the Reno Gazette Journal, a part of the USA TODAY Network.
