Wildfires - USA
The wildfires raging across Southern California have scorched more than 10,000 acres, with crews struggling to protect hundreds of homes from advancing flames.
At a news conference Thursday afternoon, officials said an 18-unit apartment complex in Carlsbad and at least seven houses had been destroyed in the more than half-dozen brush fires that have flared up in San Diego County since Wednesday.
Residents have been urged to heed evacuation orders as they come. Officials said evacuation notices covering 13,000 homes and businesses in San Marcos had been issued. Meanwhile, hundreds of people were checked into shelters, waiting for word on the status their homes.
