Wildfires caused by local gusts called "Devil Wind" have been spreading for the second day in California, the United States.
More than 10,000 residents were ordered to evacuate as the fire was not easily extinguished despite the fire authorities' all-out extinguishing.

The building with only the skeleton slumps weakly in the red flames.
Two Goods in LA and Ventura counties caught fire in California,
In particular, wildfires near Cameronillo in Ventura County have spread to large wildfires due to strong winds.
The forest fire quickly devoured 13 times the size of Yeouido.
Fire authorities tried to put out the fire by dispatching more than 1,000 personnel and helicopters, but the fire was not easily contained.
[Dustin Gardner/Bentura County Fire Chief] All the bushes and grass are burned. Fences, agricultural land, and structures are burning. This fire is spreading dangerously fast.
More than a thousand buildings, including houses in the area, were threatened, and nearby residents were ordered to evacuate.
[Connor Nelson / Wildfire Filmmaker] There are a lot of burned houses in this neighborhood. Five or six really nice houses were burned down, and all the roofs collapsed. It's a pity.]
While the exact cause of the fire has yet to be determined, the Associated Press said the area is vulnerable to wildfires due to the infamous "Santa Ana" winds.
High winds in Santa Ana are dry winds blowing from the Sierra Nevada to the California coast, making it difficult to predict the direction of hurricane-force speeds.
The National Weather Service issued a red alert and warned neighboring areas to watch out for strong winds.
In addition, New Jersey, which is suffering from severe drought for the first time in 120 years, is also suffering from wildfires in the fall.
