New fire evacuation orders
San Jose: Fire crews worked through another hot, dry day in northern Napa County yesterday as they continued to fight the Glass Fire, which forced new evacuation orders in California’s Wine Country and helped set a staggering record of more than 1.6 million hectares burned in the state.
So far, the fire has burned 25,850ha in Napa and Sonoma counties, destroying homes and vineyards north of Calistoga and east of St Helena. As of yesterday, the fire was 17% contained, CalFire reported. — TNS
