Residents warned to get ready to go as California fire grows
Associated PressPULGA, Calif. — Residents were warned Wednesday to be ready to evacuate as a growing wildfire bears down on two remote Northern California communities near a town largely destroyed by a deadly blaze three years ago. The fire that broke out Tuesday afternoon has chewed through more than 1.8 square miles of brush and timber near the Feather River Canyon area of Butte County. The Beckwourth Complex, a combined pair of lighting-ignited blazes, was more than 70% contained Wednesday after blackening 145 square miles near the Nevada state line. Damage was still being tallied in the rural community of Doyle, California, where flames swept in last weekend and destroyed several homes, Blazes in California, Oregon and Washington state were among nearly 70 active wildfires that have destroyed homes and burned through more than 1,500 square miles in a dozen mostly Western states, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
