Firefighters are climbing an uphill battle working to put out 21 wildfires chewing through dry land all across the state of california. Kris sanchez is tracking the story. Are crewing making any progress . Its hard to say they are making progress because as soon as they have containment, the fire grows bigger. They are kind of chasing after this fire and now more than 12,000 people are out of their homes and with friends and family. Some of them now know they have nothing to return to. 26 homes were destroyed along with as many other structures like sheds and barns. The fire just exploded in size overnight.

E we talked with a woman who is just one of 12,000 people who were ordered to get out when the winds shifted with little more than an hour to grab what she could. Finally smoking us out and we have to get out of here. And with that blast right there, thats a firefighter setting a controlled burn, one of the ways they are trying to get the upper hand. They are creating a fire break burning the fuel before the fire can get to it. We know the success of the fire fight depends on the weather conditions and hopefully they are looking up today, but it was a difficult weekend.
