this morning northern california is once again reacting to flames burning out of control. the record heat and dry weather this summer created optimum conditions for wildfire. thousands of people in a rural area east of redding have been told to leave their homes as a fire nearly 19 square miles continues to grow. the ponderosa fire has been has destroyed at least seven others. firefighters would rather rip down these trees than allow them to burn. they spent sunday trying to establish a fire line to keep the flames from reaching a cluster of homes. this fire s path is directly headed towards many of these homes. our number one goal is to get them out and get your firefighters in to put this fire out. the fire started saturday morning. the cause hasn t been determined. but it started after a series of lightning strikes in the area. this has been a fast moving fire due to the fact that conditions are dry, the brush, the grass, even the timber is incredibly dry. as t
