Massive blaze sparked at gender reveal party

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The El Dorado Fire has now charred more more than 12,000 acres of land in southern California. Fire crews have it 18% contained.

A number of neighborhoods in San Bernardino County remain under evacuation orders. Getting out became much harder Wednesday, when the fire jumped a highway used as an escape route.
