June 10, 2025 – Apple Valley, CA — A fast-moving wildfire known as the Ranch Fire has scorched approximately 4,204 acres and destroyed at least two homes as it ripped through rural communities south of Apple Valley on Tuesday evening. The fire is believed to be the largest in California so far this season. The blaze was first reported around 1:45 p.m. along Bowen Ranch Road near Milpas Road after residents spotted a massive column of black smoke rising from the high desert foothills just north of the San Bernardino Mountains. Fueled by intense 30 to 40 mph winds and dry brush, the flames exploded in size within an hour, quickly reaching over 1,000 acres before quadrupling in size. By 6:49 p.m., firefighters were battling to protect dozens of homes still under threat. Despite their efforts, at least two residences were lost as the fire moved aggressively through the area. Winds continued to hinder containment efforts late into the night . Fire crews from multiple agencies remain on scene conducting structure defense and attempting to contain the fire’s perimeter. No injuries have been reported, but evacuation orders and road closures remain in effect as the situation develops.
