A fast-spreading wildfire in California's wine country sparked evacuation orders as firefighters continued to battle the blaze Saturday. The Pickett fire in Northern California's Napa County has burned more than 5,800 acres since it broke out Thursday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Firefighters are working to contain a blaze currently tearing through California's beloved wine country. The Pickett Fire first sparked Thursday afternoon and continued to rage Saturday.

While California saw devastating wildfires in Los Angeles at the start of the year, the state has experienced an average summer fire season, with only one blaze, the Gifford fire, surpassing 100,000 acres. Fire activity is expected to pick up in coming days as the state bakes in a heat wave.
