Another fire eats through Northern California

Raging wildfires in Northern California are again forcing thousands of residents to flee. A fire about 100 miles northwest of Sacramento has devoured more than 20 homes and buildings since Saturday. Officials say the blaze threatens more homes in Lake County, which has been ravaged by fire the past few years. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency there Monday. CalFire Capt. Jordan Motta said more than 250 firefighters were battling the blaze. Officials have not yet determined a cause for any of the fires.
