Evacuation As Wildfire Races On

A 700-acre California wildfire forced the evacuation of some 200 people, as the fast-moving blaze neared dozens of homes. Wind gusts of 40-60 mph have not helped, as firefighters struggle to contain the blaze. The wildfire season in California got off to an early start, and is forecast to be among the worst on record. Across the country, the Southern Georgia wildfire is largely contained, but could continue to smolder for months, according to a story in the June 6 San Francisco Chronicle.
