kincade fire

The Kincade Fire to the north and the Maria Fire in the south are 80% contained and should be fully under control this week. Evacuation orders for about 190,000 Californians have been lifted.

The Kincade Fire has burned more than 75,000 acres in Northern California, while another blaze is 5% contained in Los Angeles. Gusty conditions will make the job even tougher for firefighters.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is freeing up state aid as high winds fuel two major fires across the state. The Kincade Fire in Sonoma County has burned 30,000 acres, prompting evacuation orders for some 180,000.
