The Kincade Fire had spread to 10,000 acres — just over 15 square miles — by early Thursday, with no containment, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The department issued red flag warnings for the area, a critical alert for when weather conditions such as high heat, low humidity, lightning strikes and strong winds could result in intense and quick-burning fires. The National Weather Service forecast strong 30 to 40 mph gusts of wind, topping out at 60 mph.
