More than 26000 people under evacuation order in California

More than 26,000 residents in California, USA, were ordered to evacuate on Monday from a wildfire raging in the northern part of the state.

– This fire is extremely unstable and unpredictable, Tehama County Sheriff Dave Kain said.

The wildfire is one of the largest in the state’s history and has already destroyed about 150,000 hectares.

The fire has been burning since Wednesday outside the city of Chico, about a three-hour drive northeast of San Francisco.
