Huge wildfire explodes in southern California and spreads into Nevada
A huge wildfire burning out of control in California’s Mojave national preserve is spreading rapidly amid erratic winds. The York fire erupted on Friday near the remote Caruthers Canyon area of the wildland preserve. It crossed the state line into Nevada on Sunday, and sent smoke further east into the Las Vegas Valley.
