Wildfire races toward San Diego hillside suburb

A wall of flames dozens of feet high advanced on a hillside community near San Diego on Thursday, threatening to destroy upscale houses as eight other major blazes burned in Southern California, keeping thousands of people out of their homes. The destructive cluster of fires comes as California enters its peak fire season in the midst of one of its worst droughts in decades, setting the stage for what state officials worry could be particularly intense and dangerous year. California state university was evacuated due to the fire.
