Massive wildfires burning across the U.S. West during the record heat wave prompted evacuation orders in several states over the weekend — including one in Southern California that's threatening homes including the late Michael Jackson's former Neverland Ranch.
The big picture: 24 large fires have been burning across the Western U.S., per the latest details from the National Interagency Fire Center — including eight in California and two in Utah, where hot, dry and windy conditions brought "critical fire weather" concern for central and southern parts of the state Sunday.
