California Wildfire Forces Hundreds to Evacuate.
BOLDUAN: Hundreds of firefighters are battling fires across California right now. Mandatory evacuations are being ordered. And folks there will also be looking at record-breaking heat. A heat wave coming in that could make conditions even worse. The opposite of what they need right now. CNN's Dan Simon is in Yolo County with fire crews and he joins me now. Dan, what are you seeing and hear there today?</s>DAN SIMON, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Kate. This fire, known as the Sand Fire, is the first big one to hit northern California this year. Right now, it's had about 2,200 acres. It did not grow overnight, so that is the good news. It's also a 30 percent containment. What's especially noteworthy about this particular fire is that PG&E, the power utility, cut power to about 20,000 customers simply as a preventive measure to prevent other wildfires from breaking out. This is the first time the utility has ever done so much. Of course, they are under tremendous pressure after the utility was found to have caused the fire in Paradise, which destroyed the town last year where you have 85 people who died where that will happen continually over the summer. Kate, we'll send it back to you.</s>BOLDUAN: All right Dan, thank you so much. Watching those pictures. Always so scary out there.
