"We worked so hard to get this, get this house. And just the thought of just coming back to nothing, you know, it’s, you know, all in ruins, you know. But like I said, it’s part of life. And, you know, we’re just gonna roll with the punches."

STORYLINE:
More than 35,000 structures are being threatened by a wildfire in the foothills of a national forest east of Los Angeles.
The so-called Line Fire burned uncontrolled Sunday along the edge of the San Bernardino National Forest, about 65 miles east of LA.
As of Sunday afternoon, the blaze had charred about 27 square miles of grass and chaparral. The cause is under investigation.
The fire burned so hot on Saturday that it created its own weather system that could spawn lightning and gusty winds. More than 600 firefighters were battling the blaze and at least three were injured.
Afternoon temperatures in the area have soared into the triple digits.
Joseph Escobedo said his family has lived in Angelus Oaks for about three years and has never had to evacuate for wildfire. His family, with three young children, was among the remaining few who haven’t left the area as of Sunday afternoon.
“We worked so hard to get this, get this house. And just the thought of just coming back to nothing, you know, it’s, you know, all in ruins, you know. But like I said, it’s part of life."
