San Bernardino County Firefighter/Engineer/Paramedic Jeremy Pendergraft helps a couple evacuate out of their home as she cries off of Hess Rd. as a wildfire off of Hwy 138 quickly approaches in San Bernardino, Calif., Tuesday Aug. 16, 2016. Eric Sherwin of the San Bernardino County Fire Department says the blaze that began in the Cajon Pass continues to race in several directions. It has topped ridges in the San Bernardino Mountains and is closing in on high desert communities on the other side. (Will Lester/The Inland Valley Daily Bulletin via AP)
