Giant brush fires threaten wildlife sanctuary in California
A major brush fire edged toward the Sespe Wildlife Sanctuary in Ventura County while another blaze burned 3,440 acres in the San Jacinto Mountains. Firefighters, aided by unusual heat and smoke, faced evolving containment with more than 6,000 acres scorched in the Los Padres National Forest. Officials reported about 80 birds possibly affected but expected containment later. Damages were estimated around 200000 dollars as crews battled fires across multiple counties with air tankers and ground forces.
