Weather aids firefighting as Labor Day weekend nears
Cooler weather helps firefighters and Marines gain ground on 35 large wildfires across eight western states including California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Despite progress, more fires burn with 22,000+ crews and 5.29 million acres affected this year. Bay area and national forest blazes, plus a 15 year old arson case near Castaic Lake, shape the frontier of this year’s worst fire season.
