Wind-whipped wildfires roared to life Sunday night and early Monday across wine country, burning buildings, forcing hundreds of evacuations including two hospitals and injuring several people.
Cal Fire said there were five major fires burning in the region.
Gov. Jerry Brown has issued a state of emergency as a result of the fires burning in Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties. As of 9:00 a.m., officials said the Atlas Peak fire was the largest of the Napa County blazes and quickly grew to more than 8,000 acres.
Meanwhile, the fire that started on Tubbs Lane near Calistoga had grown to 35,000 acres and has spread into Sonoma County and parts of Santa Rosa. The fire burned a number of buildings and sent several people to the hospital to be treated for burns.
Cal Fire said the Redwood Fire in Mendocino was at 4,500 acres, the Patrick Fire in Napa was at 100 acres and Nuns Fire in Sonoma County was at 300 acres.
