first round started almost immediately after the fire was reported off of morgan territory road around 1:30 yesterday. cal fire says yesterday's temperatures in the 90s and just a little bit of wind caused this fire to spread quickly. temperatures were very high. the fuel and topography were very extreme so those were the two primary factors that influenced the spread of this fire. >> reporter: the last update we got 800 acres were still burning and the fire was just about 10% contained. cal fire says about 50 to 70 buildings are threatened by the growing flames. now, we know an evacuation center is set up at the clayton community library for anyone who needs a place to stay because as of now it's still not certain when these people will be able to return to their homes. the latest

windy. so that's good news. >> thank you. some people in homes not threatened by the fire have offered rooms to those who had to flee. evacuees we talked to were not too worried about their homes. >> we didn't see any flames. we saw a lot of smoke. we're thinking you know -- we were told about a quarter mile away. that seems a little close if the wind changed it could be dangerous. but, you know,
