Fire crews were making progress, but flames continued to "creep and smolder" in Ventura, California. And winds could kick up again.

Some 10,000 people remained under evacuation orders Friday morning as the fire continued to threaten more structures.

Fire authorities on Sunday described battling fierce, howling winds and rescuing people in a fast-moving Southern California wildfire that forced thousands of people to flee and destroyed at least 168 structures and damaged 67.
