Injuries, destruction reported in California blaze

A fast-moving fire in Northern California injured several people, a fire official said, and destroyed multiple homes Friday as thousands of residents were forced to leave immediately, jamming roadways at the start of a sweltering Labor Day weekend.
Suzi Brady, a California Fire spokeswoman, said several people were injured and taken to a hospital. Brady said residents are still evacuating and that the blaze continues to rapidly spread amid 36 mph winds. She said more resources have been requested to aid at least 200 firefighters battling the blaze on the ground and from the air.
