A wind-driven wildfire in Tracy, California, burned 11,000 acres and forced many residents to evacuate on Saturday.

The Corral Fire was first reported around 2:30 p.m. east of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Site 300. It reached nearly 11,050 acres, with 13% containment, at 11:30 p.m., California Fire said on its website.
