Flames Devour Homes in San Bernardino Fire
In San Bernardino California a 50 mile per hour wind fanned a wildfire in a north edge foothill district forcing hundreds to flee.

Fourteen firefighters were injured and evacuated, paint peeled from a forest service truck, and sand blew in great clouds as the blaze sent embers over a wide area. Nearly 300 people were evacuated to refuge as the wind-driven fire jumped blocks and set a roof afire.
