The Latest: Kincade Fire Now 60% Contained

Officials say a wildfire burning in the wine country that forced the evacuation of more than 180,000 people is now 60% contained and has not increased in size since Wednesday. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection officials said Thursday that firefighting crews working through the night increased their control of the fire from 45% containment. The fire started last week near the town of Geyserville in Sonoma County north of San Francisco and has scorched about 120 square miles. It has destroyed 141 homes and threatens 90,000 structures. Most of those evacuated after the fire started last week have been allowed to return home.
