Wildfire near Big Sur area of California
A wildfire near the Big Sur area of California has destroyed homes and forced evacuations.
The fire has burned about 500 acres (200 hectares) in the Pfeiffer Ridge area of Los Padres National Forest near state Highway 1, Los Padres National Forest spokesman Andrew Madsen said.
The Red Cross has set up an overnight shelter for people who have been displaced by the fire, Madsen said.
Big Sur is a popular tourist destination along the Central California coast with high-end resorts and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean.
California is in the midst of the driest calendar year on record.
