Vicious California wildfire swells a staggering 62 times in size overnight, torching vehicles and homes
(Worthy News) – Wildfires in California and Montana have spiraled overnight, fuelled by hot and windy conditions and threatening neighborhoods and forcing evacuation orders.

The blaze burned down at least a dozen homes, and observers spotted wildlife fleeing the area. [ Source: Sky News (Read More…) ]
