Wildfires - California

Wildfires continued to burn in California Sunday, scorching nearly 60,000 acres and claiming two lives as 4,500 firefighters battled the six blazes, which stretched from the Klammath National Forest in Northern California to the Mexican border in San Diego County.

The most destructive fire is in Kern County, known as the Erskine fire, which has burned more than 35,000 acres and destroyed more than 150 homes. At least two people were killed in the Erskine fire, and authorities have reported what may be a third victim. The Kern fire is about 5 percent contained.
