Officials order the evacuation of about one hundred homes - after a wildfire rages in Santa Barbara county.

Local media reported the so-called Lookout Fire - broke out early Wednesday morning in southern California's Los Padres National Forest.

The fire has burned at least 50 acres of land - as fire crews worked to battle the blaze - from the air - and on the ground.

More warm temperatures and increased winds threaten to intensify the flames.
