A swift wildfire, ignited by lightning, consumed 6.25 square miles and endangered residences in California's historic Chinese Camp Town on Tuesday. At least five homes were engulfed in flames, leading to mandatory evacuations and road closures. Residents attempted to salvage their belongings before fire crews reached the scene. Dubbed the '6-5 Fire,' it is among more than a dozen active fires burning across California, prompting requests for additional resources to aid in containment efforts.
