Wildfires Burn in California, Utah - washingtonpost.com
LOS OLIVOS, Calif. -- Wildfires scorched hundreds of acres of forest and rugged mountain land in Southern California Thursday, as Utah mourners buried a father and son who died last week after being caught in a separate blaze.
A separate wildfire in San Bernardino County had spread to over 400 acres since erupting Thursday afternoon, authorities said. About 200 firefighters worked to contain the blaze after 60-mph winds fanned it across a sparsely populated area near the backside of the San Bernardino Mountains, said Bill Peters, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
