KEILAR: And 25 major wildfires are burning across California forcing thousands to evacuate, and we've still got four months to go in the fire season. Fire officials say a gender reveal party that used a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device triggered the El Dorado Fire in San Bernardino County. This is now one of the most dangerous fires they have ever seen in that area. We have more from CNN's Ryan Young at the scene.</s>RYAN YOUNG, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Brianna, fire crews have been working overtime to knock out the fires in California. Look at the scorched earth behind me. This is the El Dorado Fire. This is the one that people across the area are talking about. This is a family that came out here to do a gender reveal party using pyrotechnics and it sparked all of this dry grass. Firefighters do have some of it contained. But there's concerns about the high wind and the heat that they'll be facing much later. This El Dorado Fire is 45 minutes outside of L.A. But as they deal with all of the conditions here in California, it could be worse in the next 24 hours or so -- Brianna?</s>KEILAR: Ryan Young, thank you so much.
