"Weather offers little relief as crews battle Calif. wildfires; 12 homes ruined, 200 evacuated" by Tracie Cone, Associated Press | July 29, 2008
MARIPOSA, Calif. - Little relief from hot weather is expected this week as crews fight to contain a wildfire near Yosemite National Park that has destroyed 12 homes and forced the evacuation of about 200 others.
The blaze has charred more than 26,000 acres - over 40 square miles - since Friday as wooded slopes ignited. At the peak of summer, as many as 4,000 visitors a day stream into the park. Park officials expected to see thousands of visitors yesterday, despite the fires.
Yeah, never mind the coughing and the watery eyes.
Weather early this week is expected to bring little change from the hot, dry conditions that have plagued California for months. High temperatures are expected to remain in the low- to mid-90s, with low humidity and afternoon wind, National Weather Service meteorologist Dan Gudgel said yesterday.
State fire officials said the blaze was ignited by sparks created from firearms used for target practice, but would not elaborate.
Why? Some richer responsible for this conflagration?!!!
In Southern California, about 4,000 visitors were evacuated Sunday from the Los Angeles Zoo, and California condors and vultures in the zoo were relocated, as a brush fire spread through nearby Griffith Park. The 25-acre fire was contained in less than three hours, and no injuries were reported.
O.K, so the zoo was evacuated.
Farther north in Siskiyou County, two firefighters have died as a result of blazes - one on Saturday while scouting a fire and the other Friday by a falling tree while battling another.
In south-central Montana, a fast-moving wildfire near the Red Lodge Mountain Ski Resort grew to 5,100 acres yesterday. Five summer homes and an outbuilding have been destroyed, and 80 to 100 homes were evacuated as a precaution.There are fires in MONTANA, too?
--MORE--"
I guess the MSM doesn't want you to know the country is burning down -- because George W. Bush has to go out on a high note, huh, MSM?
