"Firefighters are working aggressively to slow the spread and protect critical infrastructure under extreme conditions," Cal Fire said. "Multiple structures have been damaged or destroyed as the wind-driven brush fire continues."
A red flag warning continues in effect until Friday as high wind conditions are expected to continue until Thursday evening.
