SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A wildfire burning just east of Santa Rosa spread to an estimated 13 acres Monday, prompting evacuation orders as firefighters worked to contain flames spreading through steep terrain.

The fire burned near North Pythian Road in Kenwood, at the northern end of Sonoma Valley on the western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, just west of the Sonoma-Napa county line.
