Description
A fast-moving wildfire tore through a historic Gold Rush community in Tuolumne County, California, on Tuesday, forcing evacuations and destroying homes, according to Cal Fire.
The blaze, known as the 6-5 Fire, grew quickly to more than 6 square miles and was still uncontained Tuesday night.
