MONTEREY, Calif. -- One of the biggest fires is burning down in Big Sur the Gallery Fire.
The Gallery Fire in Big Sur has burned at least 1,500 acres and is only 10 percent contained. So far more than 2,000 firefighters battling the flames, CAL Fire said.
The fire started just after 1 p.m. Saturday and was sparked by a lightening strike.
There are at least 75 structures evacuated, an evacuation order is in place for the Ventana Inn and the Partington Ridge area.

Meanwhile, firefighters are also combating the Gallery Fire, which broke out at about 1 p.m. Saturday, also in Los Padres National Forest, about three miles south of Big Sur.
The blaze, caused by dry lightning, has burned an estimated 2,000 acres and prompted the evacuation of 75 to 100 residences and businesses between Partington Ridge and Graves Canyon.
The American Red Cross has set up an evacuation center at Big Sur Grange Hall.
The fire has closed state Highway 1 between Ventana Inn and Spa, which remains open, and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, which is closed.
Flames are also threatening seven young California condors and one adult condor which were waiting to be rescued this afternoon from holding pens at the Ventana Wildlife Society's condor release site in Big Sur, according to Kelly Sorenson, executive director of the Ventana Wildlife Society.
Road closures have cut off all ground access to the facility and wildlife officials have called the U.S. Coast Guard to help rescue the birds by helicopter.
There was no estimated containment time of the Gallery Fire as of 6 a.m. today.
