California: 9,000 Firefighters Unable to Control Massive Wildfires 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In California, major wildfires are continuing to burn out of control
despite the efforts of nearly 9,000 firefighters. Three massive fires
have already burned more than 250,000 acres across Central and Northern
California. Seventy-two-year-old retired teacher Barbara Mc Williams
died over the weekend after the flames engulfed her home in Middletown.
Authorities say several other people are unaccounted for. More than
20,000 people have evacuated the region, and 500 homes have burned.
