Rocky Fire in California Swells to 54,000 Acres - NBC News
A massive wildfire west of Sacramento, California, spanned 54,000 acres Sunday, up from 27,000 acres the previous evening.
The Rocky Fire, in Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties, was just 5 percent contained late Sunday afternoon, CalFire spokesman Daniel Berlant said. No injuries were reported, though more than 12,000 people had been ordered to evacuate and several highways were closed, Berlant said earlier Sunday.
Dozens of buildings — including two-dozen homes — had been destroyed, and 6,000 more buildings remained threatened by the fire, which was sparked in the drought-stricken state on Wednesday and exploded in size amid dry, windy conditions on Saturday, Berlant said.
This "is a very dangerous fire," he said.
