The wildfire is also threatening more than 1,000 homes and buildings, and hundreds of resident adidas originals s were told to evacuate.                                         It s a little nerve-racking because grass fires move so fast,  said Steve Black, one property owner.The fear now is that the fire could overtake a mountain highway that s used by travelers heading to Lake Berryessa, a popular holiday destination. Intense smoke has already snuffed out Fourth of July celebrat ugg ions there.                                                                                                         Drones take the bang out of the Fourth of July in communities ravaged by wildfires          02:03                                                                      Wildfires also continue to rage in Colorado, where the Spring Fire alone has devoured an area larger than the size of Detroit, leaving 100 homes destroyed.        In Utah, officials ordered more residents to leave, as firefighters struggled to contain fast-moving flames east of Salt Lake City.Back
