A fast-moving wildfire in rural Northern California has killed at least two people, destroyed multiple homes and forced thousands of residents to flee, jamming roadways at the start of a sweltering Labor Day weekend. The Mill Fire, which started Friday about 250 miles north of San Francisco, has destroyed more than 100 homes in the small town of Weed, blazing through more than 4,200 acres and standing at 40% contained as of Sunday evening, according to Cal Fire. The nearby Mountain Fire, close to the small community of Gazelle, meanwhile, grew Sunday evening to nearly 9,000 acres. It was 10% contained, according to Cal Fire. Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Siskyou County and said a federal grant had been received “to help ensure the availability of vital resources to suppress the fire.” 🔗 Visit our link in bio for more photos from the #MillFire. 📸 Noah Berger, Stephen Lam @apnews
