Firefighters battling a growing blaze in California brace for mudslides and flooding as Tropical Storm Kay barrels into areas where burned-out soil cannot absorb sudden downpour

Officials say up to 18 cm of rain could fall in the area around the Fairview fire, creating the risk of flash flooding and mudflows in areas where burned-out soil cannot absorb the sudden downpour.

The remnants of a hurricane that hit Mexico were bringing strong winds on Friday that are likely to fan the Fairview fire, prompting wider evacuation orders.
