Officials said Wednesday (September 9th) that three people had been killed by a fast-moving wildfire that was raging northeast of San Francisco, whipped by strong winds as it forced thousands of people to evacuate from their homes. Fire officials said the North Complex fire has damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes and other buildings. Smoke from the wildfires caused eerie orange skies over the San Francisco Bay area, as well as orange and red skies in other areas as well. More than dozen wildfires are burning in California, and there are also blazes in Washington state, and in Oregon and Idaho, where people also had to evacuate their homes.
