The wildfire raging in California is now the largest in the state's recorded history.
The fire is burning out of control just 15 miles from the city of Los Angeles.
So far wildfires have scorched more than 120,000 acres, destroying more than 50 homes.
The fires are so large. You can even see them from space.
Despite efforts to stop the fire's surge it's only 5% contained and it's spreading fast.
The fires cost the state big bucks. So far it's spent more than $100 million dollars, which is more than half of its emergency firefighting fund.
