A fast-growing wildfire has forced thousands to evacuate, with nearly 14,000 homes ordered to evacuate. The fire has grown to over 10,500 acres, and the GO NOW zone has reached the edge of a university campus. Homes and businesses have been consumed by the flames in a rugged section of a national forest.

A state of emergency has been declared, and the national guard has been mobilized to support firefighting efforts and safeguard evacuated neighborhoods. Two helicopter crews and 60 troops are assisting.

Nearly 10,000 customers are without power, and further details are available from the source.
