CERTAINLY, YOUR ENTIRE AREA VERY BUSY TODAY. WE ARE GLAD YOU WERE SPARED FROM THE WORST, BUT THANK YOU FOR TAKING A FEW MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO SPEAK WITH US. >> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT. >>> IN CALIFORNIA, FIREFIGHTERS ARE STILL BATTLING THREE MAJOR WILDFIRES, THE AIRPORT FIRE, THE LINE FIRE, AND THE BRIDGE FIRE. CREWS WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER WEATHER YESTERDAY AND MADE SOME PROGRESS. UNFORTUNATELY, DOZENS OF HOMES HAVE BURNED, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EVACUATED. AUTHORITIES HAVE ARRESTED AND CHARGED A 34-YEAR-OLD SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MAN FOR ALLEGEDLY STARTING THE LINE FIRE BURNING IN THE SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS. THAT HAS RAVAGED MORE THAN 36,000 ACRES.
