Wildfires in California have torched a record more than two million acres, the state fire department said Monday, as an uncontrolled blaze forced many residents to flee their homes.<\/p>\n

\n <\/section>\n

The record was hit as the wildfire season still has roughly two months to go in the most populous US state and as thousands of firefighters were battling flames during a scorching heat wave.<\/p>\n

“In the past 33 years we have not seen a single year go over two million acres until this year,” said California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) spokeswoman Lynne Tolmachoff.
\n“This is definitely record-breaking and we have not even come close to the end of fire season yet.”
\nAt least seven people have died as a result of this year’s fires and some 3,800 structures have been damaged or destroyed, according to Cal Fire figures.
\nThe last time the number of acres burned got close to two million was in 2018, the same year as the devastating Camp Fire, when a little more than 1.9 million acres (769,000 hectares) went up in flames.
\nMore than 14,100 firefighters were battling 24 different wildfires as of Monday afternoon, the fire department said in a tweet.
\nAmong those blazes was the Creek Fire, which started on Friday in steep and rugged terrain, has so far spread to 78,790 acres and is zero percent contained, according to Cal Fire.<\/p>\n

Record-breaking heat<\/b>
\nThe department said on Twitter<\/a> that 976 personnel were battling the fire, which had continued to grow “under extreme conditions.”
\nAnother rapidly growing fire, the Oak Fire, began Sunday in Mendocino county and has already grown to 1,000 acres.
\nCal Fire said that 83 personnel were on hand to battle the blaze, which was zero percent contained.
\nEvacuation orders were in effect throughout southern California on Monday afternoon.
\nIn northern California, more than 200 people were airlifted to safety over the weekend after a fast-moving wildfire trapp<\/a>ed them near the Mammoth Pool Reservoir northeast of Fresno.<\/p>\n

They were rescued by military helicopters, with dozens packed into a Chinook, video shared by the California National Guard showed.
\nRecord temperatures over the three-day Labor Day weekend have aggravated already dangerous fire conditions and further stressed exhausted California firefighters.
\nCalifornia has been baking under scorching conditions with temperatures reaching a record 121 degrees Fahrenheit (49 Celsius) on Sunday in Woodland Hills, an all-time high for Los Angeles county, the National Weather Service said.<\/p>\n
