Campers barred from fire zones across the West
Canadian officials ordered campers out of tinder dry recreation areas as crews battled grass and timber fires across British Columbia, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana and California. About 200000 acres burned in the past three weeks, with the Piru fire in Southern California partly under control before gusty winds pushed flames toward Lime Canyon and 50 oil wells. Rangers said no lives were at risk. Provincial officials cited campers violating closures, with Kamloops district calling closures widely ignored.
