Wildfires continue to rage in northern California, forcing thousands to evacuate from regions surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area Wednesday, as firefighters tackled 30 wildfires across the state amid a blistering heatwave now in its second week.

As part of the same fire complex, thousands of homes and businesses were threatened in the wine-growing counties of Napa and Sonoma in an area devastated by a series of deadly blazes in the last three years.

Wildfires in Napa and Sonoma County spread to cover an area of 32,025 acres by Tuesday night and video showing smoke and flames that lit the sky orange.

Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a statewide state of emergency Tuesday.
