Winds intensifying as firefighters battle fire in California

Winds grew stronger Thursday in California's wine country, threatening to escalate a massive wildfire that has burned for days and destroyed hundreds of buildings. More fire crews and equipment were deployed in and around Calistoga, a town of 5,000 people known for hot springs, mud baths and wineries in the hills of Napa County about 70 miles (110 kilometers) north of San Francisco. Winds gusting to 30 mph were forecast to push through the hills Thursday night and Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
