Fires still blazing on the West Coast United Press International VENTURA, Calif. — Firefighters battled at least 16 brush fires cover ing more than 90,000 acres throughout California today. Resi dents fled threatened homes and fire authorities worried that their forces were stretched to the break ing point. On the scene of the most serious fire, a force of 700 men and women labored to hold back a 20,000-acre reservoir of flames from the coastal city of Ventura and the nearby towns of Ojai and Santa Paula. The fire, about 60 miles up the coast from Los Angeles damaged one house, several outbuildings and vehicles, and damaged about 85 acres of citrus groves, including trees bulldozed to make a fire break. Firefighters prepared a last ditch fight in Aliso Canyon, six miles west of Santa Paula, but the winds ceased and the eastward spread of the fire fell a mile short of the canyon. Two firefighters were injured. One suffered second and third de gree burns and was hospitalized, while another broke his toe.

In the meantime, according to the FDA, the problem isn’t big enough for beer drinkers to seek other ways to quench their thirst. But the Center for Science in the Public Interest thinks the problem is serious enough that the govern ment should order brewers to dis close how much of the cancer- causing agents — nitrosamines — their products contain, and give the firms six months to eliminate them. “Americans are clearly consuming a significnt amount of nitrosamines in their beer,” said the group, a Washington based consumer lobby ing organization. “About 90 percent of U.S. maltsters use a process (di rect fire technique) that results in the occurrence of nitrosamines,” ac cording to FDA. Nitrosamines are known causers. In beer they appa suit when malt is dried in a| lar way.
