WILD FIRES IN SOUTHERN C.A

I recently read online on http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,303799,00.html that there were many wild fires in Malibu, C.A. making thousands of people evacuate their homes and one person was killed. It also said these fires burned more than 40,000 acres of land and churches, homes, and a castle was burned down. This article surprised me when it said, "Though firefighters had been on high alert because forecasters predicted the winds, they admitted Sunday night that they were overwhelmed" This really shocked me because once I read that it proved to me that there were so many fires that even the firefighters couldn't handle all of them.
