Thousands of people have been evacuated from the path of a scorching wildfire in the foothills, foothills rather of San Bernardino National Forest. The so called line fire burned mostly out of control today threatening to burn tens of thousands of buildings. Anastasia Olmos spoke with some people who live near the blaze. See we're here and the fire. It's not even the constant peak yet. Families who live in and around the San Bernardino National Forest are watching the line fire minute by minute ready to leave at a moment's notice. Just keep in track until it's time for us to go, which it looks like it is. We did just get in order to leave. So we're packing up and leaving soon. Desiree Armstrong and her family live in mountain home village. We were there as county officials issued a mandatory evacuation order around 530 in the evening. One woman placed her three caps in crates in the car and told them they know the drill up the mountain in Angeles Oaks, families remained under an evacuation watch Sunday evening but Scott Swift says they know the drill too, you know, load pictures and important papers getting the trailer ready, you know, putting the generators in the back of the truck just in case but swift. Like some others say, they'll only leave if they absolutely have to. Nobody's come and told us to get out. So we're still here, but we're getting ready, we'll be hooked up. So when the time comes, officials say a short afternoon rain calmed the spread of the fire, but they continued evacuations, predicting it to spread east sometime Monday morning closing down highway 38 to all traffic. At sunset, one couple had just landed from a trip at LAX and were racing to get home. We high tailed it here as fast as we can and now they've got the access point closed off. So we're really worried. We have to get our pets, we have to get medicines, family member.
