the fire has destroyed 20 homes. it has burned nearly 15,000 acres. that is about the size of alameda, keep in mind. sergio quintana is live in the county tonight with the latest. >> reporter: this is a fire that is moving pretty quickly because it simply has a whole lot of dry fuel to consume. let me show you how close it is to the homes. up there on the hilltop you could see a little bit of smolders and it is burning higher but the fog just rolled in this afternoon. that fog is a blessing and a curse for firefighters. >> this is a fire that has expanded by thousands of acres in just a few days. >> the fire has grown from saturday around 3000 acres to the 14,987 that we're seeing now and it really is just hard to get to. >> reporter: the northernmost edge of the fire continues to inch toward an area called carmel highlands. many residents were evacuated this weekend but returned only to be put on notice that they
