Three major wildfires that have ravaged the mountains east of Los Angeles
Fire crews examine a property damaged by the Airport Fire on Sept. 12, 2024, in El Cariso Village, in unincorporated Riverside County, Calif.Helped by cooler temperatures, firefighters gained ground Friday against three blazes in Southern California and authorities began scaling back evacuation orders that displaced thousands of people.
California is entering the height of wildfire season and has already seen nearly three times as much acreage burn as during all of 2023. The Big Bear Zoo said it moved all its animals to a zoo in the city of Palm Desert to protect them from the wildfires and escalating temperatures. Anderson said Halstenberg, 34, attempted to start three fires within an hour in the city of Highland. Two were extinguished by firefighters and a good Samaritan, and the third became the Line Fire, according to authorities.
The full extent of the damage caused by the wildfires remains unclear, but Anderson said at least one home has been destroyed by the blaze.
