Windy Fire raging in Sequoia National Forest sparked by lightning

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Lightning that lit up central California skies last week also sparked some new fires in the Sequoia National Forest.

Park rangers say dozens of lightning strikes sparked a total of eight fires across the forest.

One of those incidents, named The Windy Fire, is burning in the Tule River Indian Reservation.

That's near the eastern edge of the forest.

Authorities say the Windy Fire, which has burned 165 acres, was the largest to start during Thursday's lightning strikes.
