ST. HELENA, Calif. - A wind-driven wildfire erupted on Sunday in the heart of northern California’s Napa Valley wine country and spread across more than 1,000 acres , forcing the evacuation of several hundreds homes and a hospital, authorities said.The blaze, dubbed the Glass Fire, broke out before dawn near Calistoga, about 75 miles north of San Francisco, and raced toward the adjacent towns of Deer Park and St. Helena, with flames advancing to within a mile of the Adventist Health St.
Evacuation orders also were posted on Sunday for Deer Park and several other Napa County communities, according to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Tyree Zander. There were no immediate reports of injuries, but a Reuters photographer in St. Helena saw a number of structures that had been burned.
The public safety power shutoffs were expected to affect some 65,000 homes and businesses in the region, said PG&E, the state’s largest electric utility.
