It’s fire season in California, where a shortage of rainfall has resulted in dry conditions. As of Monday evening, there were 13 fires burning throughout the state.

In Southern California, the Station Fire in the Angeles National Forest near Flintridge had already burned more than 100,000 acres and was only 5% contained as of Monday evening. It destroyed 53 structures and threatened thousands of others.

Mandatory evacuations are in effect in several areas, with large animals being directed to Antelope Valley Fairgrounds. Pierce College is also accepting horses, donkeys, and mules.

In San Bernardino County, just over 1,000 acres have succumbed to the Oak Glen Fire. Although thousands of structures have been threatened, only one home has been damaged. Those under mandatory evacuation orders are directed to take horses to the Yucaipa Equestrian Center
