The hot, smoky fire, about 110 miles north of San Francisco has threatened nearly 10,000 homes and so far 100,000 acres have burned...All of northern California is covered with haze and smoke...Battalion Chief Carl Schwettmann of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said, "With these drought-stricken fuels, it’s just moving at an extremely high rate of speed.” Nearly 3,000 firefighters from across the state battled the stubborn
fire Monday, as 19 helicopters dropped water and four air tankers dumped
fire retardant.
