A rapidly spreading wildfire in southern California's Cajon Pass has grown in hot, dry weather, threatening at least 34,000 structures and forcing the hasty evacuation of more than 80,000 people. 。

Since first reported on Tuesday around 10:30 a.m. PDT, the Blue Cut fire has already engulfed 30,000 acres as of Wednesday morning, and it was expected to continue to spread.。

This out-of-control blaze follows a series of other devastating wildfires in California -- most recently one in Lake County, Northern California -- as a result of extremely low humidity, high temperatures and strong winds. 。

“We are not even in the hot part of fire season yet,” San Bernardino County Fire Department Batallion Chief Michael Wakoski said at a recent press conference.  “This is October-like fire behavior conditions we're having right now, and we’re only in August, so we are in for a fight.”

California is suffering through its worst drought on record, which has dried out soils and vegetation and led to widespread tree deaths, which may make trees more susceptible to fire. 。

Red flag fire weather conditions are forecast to continue through 9 p.m. PDT Thursday, which means conditions will remain conducive to additional spreading of this blaze. 。

“You add the wind, the fuel and the lay of the land and they all line up for a disaster,” Wakoski said. “The brush is like stick. They just break off when you walk through them. It’s a disaster that has been waiting to happen all year, waiting for a spark.”Additional reporting by the Associated Press 。
