Wildfire setback forces more evacuations
Efforts to tame a raging wildfire that has destroyed 200 homes near the Californian resort of Lake Tahoe suffered a setback when a backfire set to control the blaze jumped a fireline, forcing a new round of evacuations.
Firefighters were working to protect a development outside South Lake Tahoe when the blaze expanded, prompting the evacuation of a 300-home sub-division.
