Pictures from the Yucca Valley/Sawtooth Ridge giant desert forest fire that is now threatening the town of Yucca Valley, CA, a population of 17,000 residents. It is feared that this "super fire" could be disastrous if it climbs further northward to the resort towns of the Big Bear Lake area. The condition of the fire has become so severe due to high winds, ample dry and dead forest trees killed by bark beetles and the sizzling 108 F day temperatures with plenty of desert winds fanning the flames. Currently, there are over 4000 firefighters fighting this giant desert forest fire.
