Three Major Wildfires Force Thousands to Flee in California Two of the fires are miles from a bar in Thousand Oaks where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting. Voluntary evacuations of around 75,000 homes in Ventura County have been called for because of the 'Woolsey Fire.' The 'Hill Fire' has torched over 10,000 acres in Ventura County. In Northern California, the 'Camp Fire' has advanced rapidly to the city of Chico, forcing thousands to flee. California fire officials say the 'Camp Fire' left the nearby town of Paradise in ruins. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says an unspecified number of civilians and firefighters have been injured. It could be days before authorities know of any fatalities.
