Firefighters hope to gain the upper hand as cooler weather moves into California later in the week
A mountainside becomes engulfed in flames as the Airport Fire gains ground near Lake Elsinore, Calif., on Sept. 10, 2024. Out-of-control wildfires surrounding Los Angeles continued to grow on Sept. 10, forcing families to evacuate and blanketing the sky with choking smoke.
Two firefighters who suffered heat-related injuries and a resident who suffered from smoke inhalation were treated at a hospital and released. “You can see fire coming over the ridge now,” Fankhauser said Tuesday afternoon. “It’s getting a little scarier now.” Three firefighters have been injured since the blaze was reported Thursday, state fire managers said.
Other major fires were burning across the West, including in Idaho, Oregon and Nevada, where about 20,000 people had to flee a blaze outside Reno.An excessive heat warning issued for the Los Angeles area will expire Tuesday night. In Northern California, a fire measuring less than 2.6 square kilometres that started Sunday burned at least 30 homes and commercial buildings and destroyed 40 to 50 vehicles in Clearlake City, 117 kilometres north of San Francisco, officials said. Roughly 4,000 people were forced to evacuate by the so-called Boyles Fire, which was about 40 per cent contained Monday afternoon.
