Wildfires Continue to Rage in California

  
 


Firefighters are still battling huge wildfires in southern California as the state endures a fire season already twice as destructive as normal.  Officials in California say they have safely evacuated 1,500 people, from the path of a raging wildfire near Los Angeles.

Helicopters, air tankers and planes have been drafted in to help more than 500 fire fighters battle the flames - which are being fanned by strong winds. Around 6000 acres have been ruined so far by the fires which continue to spread.

Experts believe this fire season could go down as the worst in US history.
Several wildfires near Los Angeles have forced the evacuation of nearly 2,000 people from their houses and dozens of homes have been burned to the ground.
