Wildfires

Wildfires - California, USA

In heat-stricken Southern California, powerful winds that sent an overnight inferno hopscotching through the Santa Barbara County community of Goleta vanished in the morning, allowing firefighters to extinguish smoldering ruins of an estimated 20 structures, including homes. Authorities announced that mandatory evacuation orders were being greatly reduced and many of the 2,500 people who fled Friday night would be able to return home by late afternoon.

A brush fire that started in San Deigo on Friday has incinerated more than 400 acres of land and destroy dozens of homes in the foothill community of Alpine.
