  Fifty buildings were destroyed by a 21,500-acre wildfire raging in Northern California that has forced the evacuation of about 3,000 men and women close to the modest town of Manton, fire officials said late on Tuesday.
  
  Dubbed the Ponderosa Fire, the lightning-sparked blaze roared through brush and heavy timber in Tehama and Shasta counties, about 125 miles north of the state capital Sacramento, since it began on Saturday.
  
  Firefighters have been eventually ready to survey the harm from the air in one of the far more heavily populated areas affected, to the southeast of tiny Manton, on Tuesday.
  
  The structures destroyed include not only residential houses but also barns and sheds, but firefighters were not anticipated to inspect the damage up close and on foot until finally Wednesday, Chico Fire Division Chief Shane Lauderdale told Reuters. Japan yens for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
  
  "There is a good opportunity that amount (of destroyed buildings) will go up, simply because they haven't been ready to get into the total region impacted by the fire," Mike Witesman, a spokesman for the California Division of Forestry and Fire Protection, explained.
  
  More than 2,000 fire personnel efficiently fought solid winds all day Tuesday to save the neighboring little town of Shingletown from burning, Lauderdale said.
  
  However, a lot more than 200 residences stay threatened by the blaze burning in excess of steep and rugged rural terrain.
  
  Two firefighters have suffered minor injuries even though fighting the blaze, which officials explained has been 40 contained.
  
  The Northern California fire is between nearly three dozen significant conflagrations burning out of handle by the drought-stricken Western states, devouring well in excess of 1 million acres, according to the Nationwide Interagency Fire Center in Boise.
