U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Some California wildfires still causing grief July 19, 2008 9:05 PM SACRAMENTO, Calif. Life has gotten easier for California firefighters, but they're not hanging up their hoses yet. Just 38 of the more than 2,000 fires sparked in the state in the past month are still burning. But among those is a blaze in Shasta Trinity National Forest that's forced evacuations from the town of Junction City. The wildfire has charred almost 82 square miles and is 45 percent contained. On the Big Sur coast, the fire that's swept over 200 square miles of heavily forested land is now 70 percent contained. Most evacuees have been allowed to return home. California authorities say many of the remaining fires are on remote federal forest lands that are harder to enclose because of drier, windier conditions at higher elevations. |
