HIGHLAND, Calif. (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.

"We’re mentally prepared for
at least two days," said one evac
uee. Woody Andrews of
Running Springs.
In all. about l,0(X) people
were displaced, Stamer said.
The fire started Friday about
four miles from Highland, in an
area where thousands of trees had
been killed by Western pine bark
beetles, said Karen Terrill, fire
information officer for the
California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection.
