A firefighter stops to look at a wall of fire on East Cypress Road, in Knightsen, Calif., on Oct. 27, 2019.Fierce winds fanning Californian wildfires are expected to abate on Monday, giving firefighters a chance to corral blazes that have scorched swaths of the picturesque wine country in the north and neighbourhoods near Los Angeles in the south.

Wind gusts can be between 50 to 60 miles per hour , with some significantly higher, he said. “It’s going to be bad.”The northern California wine country has borne the brunt of the fires, with 84 square miles burned and 190,000 people evacuated in the so-called Kincade fire. “All hands are focusing on the Kincade,” Newsom told reporters after meeting residents at an evacuation centre in the Sonoma County city of Petaluma, calling the blaze “the most stubborn challenge we face.”
