Parched California hit by multiple wildfires
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger urged residents to follow mandatory evacuations as about 6,800 firefighters fought nearly a dozen fires across the state. He met crews at Lockheed Fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the blaze blackened about 8 square miles since Wednesday and prompted evacuations of Swanton and Bonny Doon. Crews gained ground as winds died, with about 30 percent contained, CalFire said.
