The Caldor Fire burning in California has grown 24 times its size in two days, forcing another 10,000 residents to evacuate.
Fueled by wind and dry conditions, the fire burning in El Dorado County swelled to 62,586 acres Wednesday and is 0% contained, according to Cal Fire. The fire was sparked Saturday and the cause is unknown.
