California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency in four counties as wildfires continue to spread in southern California. The fire has destroyed more than fifty buildings and burned through more than 105,000 acres of mountainous brush. Mike Dietrich of the US Forest Service said the coming days remain “treacherous.” He told the Los Angeles Times, “This is a very angry fire. Until we get a change in the weather conditions, I am not overly optimistic. The fire is headed just about anywhere it wants.”
