Mandatory evacuations have been ordered in Apple Valley as a brush fire continues to spread Tuesday afternoon.

The brush fire had spread to more than 70 acres by 4 p.m., and animals and residents on Riverside Drive between Riverside Way and Nokomis Road, according San Bernardino County Fire Department spokesman Dean Dickover.

Residents can evacuate to Sitting Bull Middle School.

Seven structures have been threatened and one out building has been damaged.

Ground and air crews are attacking the fire. Two hundred firefighters are battling the brush fire at a dry river bottom between Victorville and Apple Valley.

The fire started just before noon.
