Thousands evacuated as California wildfire rages



CALIFORNIA: About 2,000 people have been evacuated from their homes as a wildfire rages through California’s wine country.

The Kincade fire has engulfed 10,000 acres of land in Sonoma County and is not yet contained, the state’s fire protection department says.

It is being driven by powerful winds and is moving south, a California fire spokeswoman said.

California is still recovering from wildfires last year that killed about 100 people.

The fire is moving some 75 miles (120km) north of San Francisco.
