Since it started on Friday afternoon, the Gifford Fire -- which is situated within the Los Padres National Forest in Solvang, California -- has burned 72,460 acres and has only reached 7% containment, prompting evacuation orders for those in the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, officials said.

A wildfire that started Friday exploded over the weekend in Central California, burning over 65,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, with incoming warm weather possibly making it even harder to fight the blaze.
