Hotshot firefighters hike to a location to cut fire lines to battle the Apple Fire as an excessive heat warning continues in Cherry Valley, California. The fire began shortly before 5 p.m. the previous evening, threatening a large number of homes overnight and forcing thousands to flee before exploding to 12,000 acres this afternoon, mostly climbing the steep wilderness slopes of the San Bernardino Mountains. l August 1, 2020 l 📷: David McNew eye4light l #californiafire #GettyNews #GettyImages25 #CapturingThePresent
