Wildfires Force State of Emergency in California

VOA News

   California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a statewide state of
   emergency because of wildfires and power cuts to millions to stop more
   fires from breaking out.

   "We are deploying every resource available...it is critical that people
   in evacuation zones heed the warnings from officials and first
   responders," Newsom said in his declaration.

   Two-hundred thousand people have been forces to flee their homes in
   Sonoma County, north of San Francisco. The country sheriff's office
   calls it the largest such evacuation anyone can remember.
