New California fires burnt thousands of acres in a day, including the fast-moving Napa County Glass  Fire, which destroyed a winery.

The Glass Fire tore through vineyards and structures Sunday evening near St. Helena, roaring over hills and jumping across both the Silverado Trail and the Lodi River, despite fire crews efforts to contain it, according to CNN affiliate KPIX.

"It's a cremation," Craig Battuello, whose family has raised grapes in St. Helena for more than a century, told the station.

Flames engulfed California's famed Chateau Boswell Winery along the Silverado Trail in the St. Helena area, KPIX reports.

Fueled by dry conditions and high winds, two other wildfires also erupted in the area Sunday night: The Boysen Fire just west of St Helena and the Shady Fire near Santa Rosa, according to KPIX.

There have been more than 8,100 wildfires in the state this year and firefighters continue to fight 25 major blazes, CalFire said in a news release Sunday.

"Since August 15, when California's fire activity elevated, there have been 26 fatalities and over 7,000 structures destroyed," the release said.
