(Associated Press) – Multiple communities in Idaho have been evacuated after lightning strikes sparked fast-moving wildfires.
Videos posted to social media include a man fleeing the town of Juliaetta, driving past a building and trees engulfed in flames as a tunnel of smoke rises over the roadway.
As that and other blazes scorch the Pacific Northwest, authorities say California’s largest wildfire is zero-percent contained after destroying 134 structures and threatening 4,200 more.
A sheriff says it was started by a man who pushed a burning car into a gully.
Officials say they have arrested a 42-year-old man who will be arraigned Monday.
