Flames from the Oak Fire burning in Mariposa County is racing toward homes and showing no signs of slowing down. The fire has burned more than 12,000 acres and it ignited in steep, rough terrain which has made it tough for crews to gain access.

The Bay Area Air Quality District said smoke from the Oak Fire will make its way into the Bay Area starting Monday.

In a tweet, the agency said the smoke coming from Mariposa County will drift into the region.

"Hazy skies may be visible and the smell of smoke is possible at high elevations," the agency said.
