Wildfires Spread in California as More Customers Lose Power

Oct.24 -- A wildfire in Northern California has spread to 10,000 acres fueled by strong winds and dry conditions. The fast-moving brush fire comes as PG&E Corp. began shutting off power to 179,000 customers in 17 California counties including Sonoma County on Wednesday, as part of a second major intentional blackout this month meant to head off potential wildfires.
