Wildfire along California coast threatens 4500 homes

An out of control wildfire in the central coast forests of California is threatening more than 4500 homes. The residents in and out of the city Goleta have been ordered to evacuate the region as a newer blaze was caused by hot winds 200 miles south in Santa Barbara County.

The winds are flowing at 40mph and the winds were so fierce on Friday that one time the firefighters had to take shelter in 70- homes that they were trying to save. The fire is 13 day old and the density of the forests has kept the fire to grow.
