Over 1,000 firefighters are battling the Gifford Fire in California’s Los Padres National Forest, which has burned over 72,000 acres in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties and is only 3% contained.

The blaze has prompted evacuation orders, threatens 460 structures, and injured three people. Air quality alerts remain in effect due to heavy smoke.

The cause is under investigation, ABC News has reported.

Meanwhile, two new wildfires erupted Monday: the Rosa Fire in Riverside County (1,200+ acres) and the Gold Fire in San Bernardino County (348 acres, 0% contained).
