The largest of dozens of wildfires burning across the state — the Rocky Fire — had scorched 60,000 acres near the community of Clearlake Oaks, which is about 100 miles north of San Francisco. Containment of the previously unchecked blaze, however, had increased to 12%, Cal Fire reported.
The fire, which started July 29, has so far destroyed 24 homes and 26 other structures.
