CARPINTERIA, Calif.—Reinvigorated by strong winds, Southern California’s largest wildfire blazed into new terrain early Sunday morning, forcing new evacuations in two wealthy Santa Barbara County communities. Fire crews scrambled north from Ventura to protect hillside homes as the 170,000-acre fire, known as the Thomas Fire, ignited coastal mountains and filled the sky with billowing plumes of smoke.
