Firefighters Slowly Gain Ground In California Brush War
In southern California firefighters made slow progress against massive brush fires that killed three people, destroyed 60 homes, and burned 120000 acres. Santa Ana winds, up to 40 miles per hour with gusts to 70, fanned the blazes while temperatures near 90s and humidity around 5 percent strained crews. The weatherman predicted relief by Wednesday night but warned of a new Santa Ana surge early next week. A third fire victim, an Indian firefighter from New Mexico, was recovered during the day.
