Wildfire forces thousands to evacuate amid California heat wave
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in Butte County north of Sacramento due to a wildfire which started Tuesday.
It continues to rage, burning over 3,500 acres with no containment.
The blaze, fueled by near-record heat across the state, has prompted mass evacuations in Oroville, affecting more than 20,000 residents.
Governor Newsom emphasized the severity of the situation, citing an imminent threat to life.
He has assured that all resources are being mobilized to combat the fire, with support from local and federal agencies.
The emergency declaration underscores ongoing efforts to protect affected communities amid escalating wildfire risks exacerbated by human-caused global warming.
