A dozen major wildfires are burning across California, and officials warn the threat will only grow in August and September, typically the most dangerous months for wildfires.

Since it started on Friday afternoon, the Gifford Fire -- which is situated within the Los Padres National Forest in Solvang, California -- has burned 83,933 acres and has only reached 9% containment, prompting evacuation orders for those in the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, officials said.
