Flames Ravage Timber on Coast in California
A sweeping wildfire outbreak in northern California has burned more than 70000 acres, destroyed parts of the historic Cherokee mining town, and mobilized over 2000 responders including soldiers, forest rangers, police, and volunteers across nine counties. Firefighters battle nine active blazes as flames threaten additional communities north and east of Oroville and near the Lassen, Mendocino, Napa, Colusa, and Yolo county areas. An explosion from blasting powder in Cherokee spread fire to nearby wooden structures. 300 troops were sent from Hamilton Field and Fairfield-Suisun Air Base to assist air and ground crews.
