Similar Stories to California Heat Wave Intensifies Wildfire Threatening Homes on Bing News

(AP) — A heat wave stifling drought-stricken California worsened a wildfire Tuesday that burned some buildings and forced people from their homes in remote communities along the Santa Cruz Mountains. The blaze in a rugged area about 30 miles south of San Jose destroyed two houses and charred more than 3 square miles of dry brush and timber, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The heat baked even coastal cities that normally benefit from the Pacific Ocean's cooling effect, but the high temperatures were expected to start easing Tuesday.
