The Line Fire in Southern California has set over 20,500 acres ablaze and is 0% contained.
The wildfire was discovered Thursday, according to InciWeb's data. It's located in San Bernardino County, around 121 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
High temperatures have increased the fire's activity Sunday night and will continue through Monday, and then temperatures will be below normal by Wednesday.
The fire is spreading towards the northeast direction, according to Daily Press, a part of the USA TODAY Network. However, the cooler weather will help moderate the flames below the marine level.
Over 36,000 structures, including single and multi-family homes, commercial buildings, and others, are threatened by the fire, and thousands are forced to evacuate.
The fire also set areas of the San Bernadino National Forest ablaze.
