Hundreds Flee California Wildfire

An out-of-control wildfire ripping through California’s central coast is expected to get worse before it gets better. 
California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) announced that the so-called Soberanes fire, which has already burned an area larger than San Francisco, could quadruple in size and rage for another month. 
A 30,000 acre wildfire on Friday, the Soberanes fire expanded rapidly this weekend, scorching over 40,000 acres in Monterey County by Monday morning. More than 5,000 firefighting personnel are working to extinguish the blaze, which has destroyed 57 homes, threatens 2,000 more, and has claimed at least one life. 
As of last night, the fire was only 18 percent contained. Now, the US Forest Service is steeling itself for the possibility that this will become one of the worst wildfires of the summer, engulfing up to 165,000 acres by the end of August.
