Napa County brush fire rapidly grows to at least 1,000 acres, forcing hospital to evacuate
A fire that began overnight in Napa County, California, has rapidly burned 1,000 acres and forced about 2,000 people and a local hospital to evacuate on Sunday.
The Glass Fire, which began as a 20-acre brush fire near Deer Park, could spread further by winds that are expected throughout the day, Cal Fire said. The fire is 0% contained.
The fire was reported at 3:50 a.m. PT, Napa County spokeswoman Janet Upton said. The fire is burning near St. Helena, about 25 miles east of Santa Rosa. Cal Fire said the cause is under investigation.
Upton said about 660 homes -- or about 2,000 people -- have evacuated. St. Helena Hospital was evacuated out of an abundance of caution, the second time the hospital has evacuated this fire season.
