In the United States, a fast-moving wildfire in southern California has forced more than 82-thousand residents in San Bernardino County to flee their homes. CCTV's May Lee reports from the frontline.

She said, "This is May Lee covering the blue cut fire in San Bernardino county where 81 hectares have burnt so far and zero percent contained. Right behind me is summit and one of the many structure that has destroyed over night by this fire. Along the hill sites it looks like a moon scape. Everything is burnt out and smoke is everywhere, ash is blowing everywhere. The problem right now is the weather. It's very hot and stayed hot. Fire crews are having a very hard time with the conditions and as you can see its very windy. That's certainly not help and the good news is the weather is suppose to get cooler starting tonight and by tomorrow its suppose to get cooler."
