Here is a story on the fire from ABC news:

[abcnews.go.com]

Quote from the article:
"It's not clear how many people had to evacuate after the blaze started Sunday," Inyo County sheriff's spokeswoman Carma Roper said. "But at least 500 structures were threatened, including the Laws Railroad Museum, a railroad station built in the 1880s", Mattingly said.

"We had pretty heavy wind activity overnight and we are expecting more windy conditions today," Mattingly said. "That is hampering firefighting efforts."
