Four-Day Brush Fire Devastates Southern California Reach
A four day brush fire roared across more than 50000 acres in Southern California, with 2000 firefighters battling high winds and low humidity.

Authorities fear full containment only by Thursday as memories of lost homes and cherished animals linger amid ash and ruined landscapes.
