SONOMA COUNTY (KRON) — Additional areas in Sonoma County are under mandatory evacuations Sunday morning because of the Kincade Fire.
Driven by strong winds, the Kincade Fire made rapid runs overnight, according to CAL Fire.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office said this is the largest evacuation that any member of the force can remember.
Fire officials say they are concerned the winds will blow embers and cause the fire to jump a major highway and spread to population centers.
As of 10 a.m., CAL Fire said the Kindcade Fire has not jumped Highway 101 yet, but it is approaching the highway.
Highway 101 is closed in the Windsor/Healdsburg area because of visibility. The closure starts in at Airport Boulevard in the northbound direction.
