Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties, encompassing some of the state's prime wine-making areas, as the blazes raged unchecked and engulfed the region in thick, billowing smoke that drifted south into the San Francisco Bay area. At least one person was killed in Mendocino County, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) said, declining to release further details. KGO-TV in San Francisco, citing unnamed California Highway Patrol officials, reported a second fatality - a blind, elderly woman found dead in the driveway of her home in Santa Rosa.
