SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Hundreds of wildfires sparked by lightning flared Sunday across the heart of wine country and remote forests in Northern California, the latest batch of destructive blazes in the bone-dry state.

One had spread across nearly 6 square miles by early Sunday after starting the previous afternoon in Napa County and quickly moving into Solano County.

Wildfires have destroyed more than 175 homes in Northern California so far this year. AP
