More evacuations are being ordered in one of California’s raging wildfires. It’s burning in the northern part of the state, in Placer and El Dorado Counties. Officials say five-thousand structures are threatened and that number could rise as the wind changes course. Flames have scorched more than 46-thousand acres but the good news is crews have finally started a containment line, getting it ten-percent under control.
