Two California fires, dubbed the Sandy Fire and Santa Rosa Island Fire, continued to consume acres of land on Monday, May 18, as dry conditions and winds enabled fast-moving flames to spread.
The Sandy Fire began in the 600 block of Sandy Drive on Monday morning and quickly spread from less than 200 to over 700 acres by the afternoon. Windy conditions caused the fire to spread, subsequently threatening homes and prompting evacuations.
