Governor

Arnold Schwarzenegger has declared a state of emergency in parts of southern

California to try to contain a massive brush fire.

The 40,000-acre (16,000-hectare) blaze is raging in San

Bernardino County, 125 miles (200km)

east of Los Angeles.

About 1,350 firefighters have been deployed to tackle the fire,

which has destroyed 100 buildings.

The popular Hollywood film location of

Pioneertown was evacuated but was spared any major damage.

Lightning strikes

Officials said that so far only 20% of the fire had been

contained.

There were fears it might merge with a smaller, 1,200-acre fire

burning in the San Bernardino National Forest.

The main fire was started by lightning strikes last weekend.

Two civilians and nine firefighters have been treated for smoke

inhalation or minor burns.

Nine air tankers, 12 helicopters and 100 fire engines are

tackling the blaze.

Weather forecasters continue to predict temperatures topping 40C

with low humidity.
