Wildwood Fire Forces Evacuations and Closes Highway 1 in Sonoma County

Residents and campers in Sonoma County are under evacuation orders due to the rapidly spreading Woodside Fire, which has grown to over 140 acres and is impacting air quality in the region. The fire has resulted in the closure of a stretch of Highway 1, and authorities are urging individuals to leave the area immediately as smoke blankets the region, driving air quality into hazardous ranges. A Spare the Air Alert has been issued, with residents warned that smoke may travel as far as Sacramento. As emergency crews continue to battle the fire, a temporary evacuation shelter has been opened for those affected.
