Fast-moving wildfires destroyed hundreds of homes and buildings in four counties in Southern California in recent days. So far, more than 20,000 residents have been evacuated. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency. Fire agencies from
counties dispatched 575 fire engines, 16 helicopters and 3,700 firefighters to control the flames "We have almost total devastation here", said Los Angeles fire captain Steve Ruda, "I can't even read the street names because the street signs are melting". As a precaution, officials in Orange County canceled classes at dozens of schools and called for the evacuation of all areas located near fire zones. The cause of the fires, which started burning last Thursday, is under investigation. At least 20 people have been injured.
