"Wildfires raced toward populated areas of Northern California's wine country, as dozens of blazes burned in other parts of the state.
Some people just west of Vacaville — a city of about 100,000 residents between San Francisco and Sacramento — were ordered to evacuate as fires burned in the hills.
The fires come during a brutal heat wave. About 45 million people across the West are under an excessive-heat warning or heat advisory."
Mike Hayes and Meg Wagner report for CNN August 20, 2020.
