Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Friday, 10 February 2006, 23:29 GMT Huge California wildfire 'tamed' The fire have been raging for several days Firefighters battling a huge wildfire in California say they hope to bring it under control over the weekend. The 10,000-acre (4,000-ha) fire raging near Anaheim was nearly 75% contained by early Friday, the Orange County fire department said in a statement. " It's the first time there was no increase in acreage, " a fire department spokesman Stephen Miller said. Some 2,000 firefighters have been battling the blaze ignited by remnants of a control burn several days ago. Firefighters said they hoped to fully contain the fire in the Cleveland National Forest by Sunday night, Mr Miller said. The blaze - sparked by the poorly extinguished burn by the US Forest Service - was not threatening residential homes, officials said. The firefighting effort has cost more than $5m and the final bill would nearly double, officials predicted. " Since we're responsible for the fire, we're going to pay for the bill, " local Forest Service fire chief Richard Hawking was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4702934.stm Dasha: Ve/Sa/Ve/Me, since 26 January 2006.
