A state of emergency has been declared in California as wildfires ravage the Klamath National Forest.
Associated Press has released vivid footage of fires burning along Highway 96.
The fast-moving McKinney fire, which started Friday, went from charring just over 1 square mile to scorching as much as 62 square miles according to fire officials.
The fire burned down at least a dozen residences and wildlife was seen fleeing the area to avoid the flames.
