and school leaders clash as they hammer out a plan to reorganize the clark county school district. >> and ready to roll, it may not be olympic sport, but why a group say participating in roller derby is like winning the gold. we begin with a update. a fire continues to grow at this hour. >> this one started just over 12 hour as i go and look at the size of it now. it grew out of control. it's our top story tonight. we are giving you another look at the fire which is burning just northwest of san bernardino. >> more than 82,000 people have been evacuated from the fire burning down several buildings including dozens of homes, even a historic diner. firefighters do not have any of it contained at this time. >> california's governor it called a state of emergency. they are trying to get a handle on these flames. >> let's talk about the people caught in the middle. some are doing everything they can to get outf finally go home. >> i was texting my friend, they got through. we got detoured off the freeway. i hope they are not going to open the 15 up. >> i don't think there is an alternate route. >> there is. but it's not quick. california highway patrol troopers say i-15 will remained closed at least through tomorrow. from the area. if you have to get to l.a., here's that alternate. you can take the 15 south from las vegas to victorville, then get on the 18 west to the 14 south. that will take you over to i-5 and the a runs down into los angeles. >> the smoke is making its way to southern nevada. >> we were watching this come through just before the sun went down from our camera in the it's a pretty good bet you are going to wake up to having some smoke tomorrow morning. the wind bring that smoke, all be it light winds to the las vegas valley. by the afternoon the winds will shift. that should blow the smoke out of the las vegas valley, especially as the wind speeds increase in the afternoon. you will make up with sun and with your full forecast. >> a huge story. i-15 is how most tourists get to las vegas. 80,000 people under evacuation orders. we are going to follow any developments throughout the night and we'll have the latest starting at 4:30 in the morning. you can find out more on the website. another big story developing, the clark county school district on the verge of a major the district. we are joined live at the grant sawer building with tonight's decision and the drama. >> it took 12 hours to finally get to a vote tonight. the whole plan has been in the works for some 12 months now. parents and teachers in support of it hope it is worth the wait. >> with that a historic shift begins. the fifth largest in the nation is going to feel smaller. >> this is a dramatic change. this is going to right size the school district. we are going to go from the top down structure to bottom up. >> what they voted on is a shift that does a simple thing. the school district is massive. schools from henderson, border same people. it's big and struggling. our district is one of the lowest performing districts in the country. here's a thought. let's change it all. let schools act as their own boss. they would have total control of their own budgets. after all, some schools have more english as second language kid or special needs kids and maybe the people better know how those kids learn. that can think of lots of reasons not to change. change is hard. but we are 50th or close to 50th in the country. that's not acceptable. so i'm not afraid of failure. the status quo is failure. >> so what happens next, a couple of steps. there will likely be a public meeting in august. a workshop before the board of education has a chance to vote on september 1. they could defer in september if they want to. big change. sure does not come quickly. >> huge shift in the power structure there. thank you. we are learning more tonight about the moment a man waving a gun stormed into a local store today through the eyes of shoppers who
