GILROY — A fast-spreading fire burned more than 1,000 acres Sunday in Santa Clara County wildland north of Gilroy, spurring a new round of residential evacuations, authorities said.

Shortly after 2:20 p.m., CalFire crews responded to reports of flames along Crews Road at Oak Spring Circle. Temperatures in the area were in the high 80s to low 90s, and low humidity and southwest winds of up to 25 mph were expected to make firefighting conditions even more difficult.
