Firefighters have gained the upper hand on the wind-driven wildfire that has destroyed 40 homes, burned nearly 11 square miles, and forced about 150 people to leave two small California towns at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada.
The Round Fire began Friday morning in Inyo County, California, according to CalFire. Erratic winds caused it to spread into the towns of Paradise and Swall Meadows.
