Wildfire in California scorches thousands of acres, destroys homes

Fires continue to burn in multiple counties, as firefighters battle to contain the flames.

A wildfire that started in California on Monday has scorched thousands of acres and destroyed multiple homes, forcing thousands of people to evacuate. The fire, which is being called the "Camp Fire," started in Butte County and has since spread to other counties, including Yuba and Sutter. As of Tuesday morning, the fire has burned over 100,000 acres and is only 20% contained. More than 100 homes have been destroyed, and thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes.

Firefighters are working to contain the fire, but the strong winds and dry conditions are making it difficult. The fire is burning in a remote area, which is making it difficult for firefighters to access. The fire is also burning in an area that is home to a lot of dry brush and trees, which is providing fuel for the fire.

California declares state of emergency as wildfire rages

California Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in response to the wildfire. The declaration will allow the state to mobilize resources to help fight the fire and provide assistance to those affected by the fire.

The fire is the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. The fire has caused at least 10 deaths and destroyed over 100 homes. The fire is also causing significant air pollution, which is affecting the health of residents in the area.
