Wildfires blaze across 18,000 acres of land in California

Huge wildfires continue to spread across an estimated 18,000 acres of land in California.

Thousands of firefighters have been deployed and some progress has been made, with around one quarter of the fires now contained but as long as the hot, dry weather persists, the risk of more fires remains.

Sky’s Joe Pike reports from Mariposa in California.
