(AP) — Aided by relatively mild weath er, hundreds of firefighters made slow but steady progress Sunday against a wildfire feed ing on an area of dense brush and timber that hadn’t burned in nearly 50 years. Hundreds of evacuees remained out of their homes because of that and other wild fires in the West. The fire in the San Bernardino National Forest about 60 miles east of Los Angeles was 30 percent con tained Sunday after charring some 1,350 acres, said Georgia Smith, a fire information officer with the U.S. Forest Service. Temperatures were only in the upper 50s before dawn Saturday, following highs in the 90s Saturday, while humidity rose to above 50 percent, fire informa tion officer Marc Stainer said. He said firefighters were racing to try to get as much of a perimeter line around the fire as they could before hot. dry weather returned. At one point, the fire had threatened as many as 1,500 homes, prompting the evacua tion of the 400 closest to the flames. Many of the residents forced to leave likely wouldn’t be allowed to return before Monday, Stamer said. Firefighters are attempting to control fires that are threatenjj thousands of homes and causing people to leave their belongji for safer areas.
