SAN FRANCISCO — A fast-moving fire fed by strong winds burned two homes Friday and damaged several others in a hillside neighborhood in the city of Oakland, where hundreds of people were ordered to evacuate before more than 100 firefighters stopped the progress of the flames, authorities said.
A California utility shut off power in 19 counties in the northern and central part of the state as a major “ diablo wind ” — notorious in autumn for its hot, dry gusts — spiked the risk of wildfire. “We have less than 10 homes that have been damaged, and we had hundreds of homes, structures, that were threatened,” the chief said.The blaze in the Oakland Hills burned a day before the Oct. 19 anniversary of a 1991 fire that destroyed nearly 3,000 homes and killed 25 people.
About 16,000 customers were without electricity Friday after Pacific Gas and Electric shut off power.
