LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Three wildfires burning in three Southern California counties are growing quickly as firefighters work to contain the blazes.
The Line Fire erupted last week and has burned more than 37,000 acres through rough mountain terrain in the Highland area of San Bernardino County. One person has been arrested for allegedly starting the fire.
The Airport Fire in Orange County has grown to over 23,412 acres after since it was accidentally sparked by county public works crews who were trying to move boulders in the area.
The Bridge Fire in the Angeles National Forest has charred more than 51,100 acres since it erupted Sunday. It has destroyed more than 30 homes in Mount Baldy and Wrightwood.
Some school districts announced their schools will be closed as smoke from the Line Fire blanketed a large swath of San Bernardino County.
Bear Valley and Redlands unified school districts said their campuses will be closed Monday. All Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District schools will also be closed.
The 20,553-acre fire burning in San Bernardino County is generating a massive amount of smoke that can be seen from miles away. The South Coast Air Quality Management District extended a smoke advisory until 11:59 p.m. Monday.
The agency says smoke from the fire is expected to reach unhealthy levels in many areas, especially impacting sensitive groups. The area with the highest smoke impacts stretches from Pomona, the San Bernardino mountains, Banning and Murrieta.
As of Monday morning, the Line Fire in San Bernardino County has burned 20,553 acres but crews were still struggling to gain any containment on the flames. The fire was threatening more than 36,300 structures in the surrounding area.
Les Marshall was evacuated from his home in Arrowbear Lake and separated from his dog. Rather than drive far from the area, he slept overnight in his car at a gas station.
He had to wait all night before firefighters were able to make the emotional reunion.
"I wanted to get him first before I went anywhere. I finally got him about 4:30 in the morning. I don't care if the house burns down - but not with him in it."
