The Gifford Fire, a wildfire burning in Central California that has destroyed over 82,000 acres in five days, continues to rage and is now accompanied by two additional fires emerging nearby, according to officials.

The Gifford Fire rages to more than 82,000 acres of destruction. The photos from the frontlines show how intense the California wildfire has become.

On Tuesday afternoon, it surpassed the state's then-largest fire, the Madre Fire, which scorched about 81,000 acres in the same region last month.
