Wildfires in California

The Big Picture shows the Wildfires in California "California Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. yesterday declared this week as 'Wildfire Awareness Week' in recognition of last week's devastating fires northwest of Los Angeles. His proclamation noted, 'In an average year, wildfires burn 900,000 acres of California's timber and grasslands.' Rains that moved into the area on Monday helped extinguish the fires that started last Thursday along US Route 101 near Camarillo Springs and Thousand Oaks, endangering some 4,000 homes. -- Lloyd Young ( 31 photos total)"
