Baku-APA. A new wildfire on Thursday burned 50 to 60 homes and forced hundreds of people to evacuate from rural communities in Central California northeast of Bakersfield, authorities said, APA reports quoting the Guardian.
The Kern County Fire Department gave the estimate of homes lost shortly after the blaze broke out near Lake Isabella in late afternoon amid heat in the 90s and single-digit humidity, CBS affiliate KBAK reported.
The so-called Erskine Fire quickly exploded in size, burning nearly four square miles. About 1,000 homes were threatened, fire Capt. Tyler Townsend told KBAK.
