LOS ANGELES - wind-whipped flames chased thousands of residents from wealthy Los Angeles neighborhoods and threatened the city’s famed Getty Center museum on Monday, the latest outbreak in a wildfire season that has triggered mass evacuations and power outages across California.
As of midday the Kincade Fire, which erupted on Wednesday night, had blackened 66,000 acres across parts of Sonoma County’s picturesque wine country, destroying 96 homes and other structures.
More than 4,100 firefighters working the blaze had built containment lines around only 5% of the flames following a wind-fanned flare-up on Sunday.
