California faced at least 92 million in fire costs last summer and fall, tripling the emergency reserve. The governor's budget arm urged approval of 62 million to cover the shortfall, as 1999 saw 700 more air-tanker hours than prior records and 7,000 fires burning 275,000 acres. Authorities forecast total emergency firefighting costs for fiscal year 1999-2000 at 145 million.
