Victory Declared in Calif. Blazes, Firemen Head Home
Los Angeles, California - Declaring victory over fires that ravaged many Southern California mountain communities for the last 10 days, officials sent more than 2,000 weary firefighters home on Sunday, saying the blazes were all but extinguished.
The talk among firefighting and emergency management agencies turned from battling the wildfires that charred almost 750,000 acres and destroyed more than 3,400 homes to helping the victims with financial aid to rebuild their shattered lives.
