California Battling Big Fire
California fire crews worked to contain a blaze in Cleveland and San Bernardino National Forests. U.S. Forest Service spokesman Dave Waite warned of real trouble if the fire reached heavy timber areas as bulldozers aided effort near Cedar Springs. The flames stretched about 4.14 miles with key hot spots south of Cyon Mountain and near the Mojave River, while winds limited disruption to U.S. 66.
