California is suffering from severe wildfires, like the fire-ravaged city of Santa Clarita, 40 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. “Even though firefighters have the fire contained to this one house they are mindful that gusting winds could carry embers elsewhere and cause even more destruction,” he said. “Firefighters are doing the best they can to keep fire from spreading.” Santa Clarita resident Dave Chambers’ home may have been damaged by a water drop but it was saved from burning to the ground.
