Ten people have died and tens of thousands evacuated after wildfires raged through northern California on Monday night, prompting a state of emergency. The inferno, which has been exacerbated by hot weather and high winds, has destroyed at least 1,500 properties across 90,000 acres in the wine-making region. Hundreds have been admitted to local hospitals for burn wounds while emergency services hotlines are flooded with distress calls about injuries and missing persons.
