BY ANDREW FREEDMAN AND JASON SAMENOW The Washington Post on neighborhoods Wildfires touched off by a bar- rage of lightning strikes in central and northern California continue to expand. The massive blazes are sending plumes of smoke and ash into the skies surrounding San Francisco, fouling air quality for hundreds of miles and endangering pub- lic health. Evacuations expanded overnight Wednesday into the early morning hours on Thursday, includ- ing portions of Travis Air Force Base, an Air Force logistics hub. On Thursday morning, one group- ing of fires had more than doubled in area since Wednesday, to 124,100 acres. The fast-spreading fire — known as the LNU Lightning Com- plex in Napa and Sonoma Counties — threatens 25,000 structures, ac- cording to Cal Fire, the state fire- fighting agency. Late Wednesday, officials shut down Interstate 80 west of Vacaville, located southwest of San Francisco, as flames jumped the highway.

Associated Press ATLANTA — New guidance from President Donald Trump’s administration that declares teachers to be “critical infra- structure workers” could give the green light to exempting teachers from quarantine requirements after being exposed to COVID-19 and instead send them back into the classroom. Keeping teachers without symptoms in the classroom, as a handful of school districts in Ten- nessee and Georgia have already said they may do, raises the risk that they will spread the respira- tory illness to students and fel- low employees. Experience from schools that reopened for face-to- face instruction in recent weeks shows that multiple teachers can be required by public health agencies to quarantine for 14 days during an outbreak. That could stretch a district’s ability to keep providing in-person instruction. Among the first districts to designate teachers as critical in- frastructure workers was east- ern Tennessee’s Greene County, where the school board voted to give them that designation on July 13.

BY BERNIE WILSON Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres are having a grand- slamming good time. Machado left no doubt when he squared up on a full-count, 94 mph sinker from Ra- fael Montero with one out in the 10th in- ning, driving it off the facade of the upper deck in left-center field to give the Padres a 6-3 win against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. Machado took a few steps while admir- ing the drive, tossed his bat aside, thumped his chest three times while looking at the Padres’ dugout and then started his trot. He was welcomed with a wild celebration at the plate. It was Machado’s 11th career grand slam and sixth walkoff homer. San Diego has hit a grand slam in three straight games for the first time, all against the Rangers. “We’re doing /AP special things here ‘ We’re GENE J.
