The Silver Fire in California’s Eastern Sierra has burned 1,000 acres and forced evacuations in multiple counties.

The blaze, which started Sunday near Highway 6 in Inyo County, remains zero percent contained.

High winds have hampered firefighting efforts, grounding aircraft.

Authorities have closed a 30-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 6, but no injuries or structural damage have been reported, The Independent has reported.

The cause is under investigation.
