The fire erupted near the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, one of the country's key centers for nuclear weapons science and technology.

A wind-driven fire continued to scorch thousands of acres 60 miles east of San Francisco, prompting residents to flee their homes and the closure of two major freeways near the central California city of Tracy.

"Strong winds and dry grass have made it difficult for firefighters to contain," Cal Fire said in a Facebook post Sunday morning.
