More than 200 people were rescued by the National Guard from a wildfire in California, officials said Sunday.

In a Facebook post, the Madera County Sherriff’s Office said officials rescued people from Mammoth Pool, a reservoir along the San Joaquin River located some 45 miles north of Fresno. They were evacuated as the Creek Fire descended on them, authorities said.
