More than 1,000 homes and businesses burn By ALLISON HOFFMAN and GILLIAN FLACCUS, Associated Press Writers OCT 23,07

SAN DIEGO - Wind-fueled wildfires stretching across Southern California burned more than 1,000 homes and businesses in San Diego County alone, and showed no signs of slowing Tuesday as thousands more joined a mandatory exodus from their homes. More than 300,000 people have fled their homes in the county, said San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, adding the number there was expected to grow as more communities were put on standby to leave as the fires burned a path toward the sea — through populated communites.The increase in San Diego losses included 500 homes destroyed in Fallbrook, said Holly Crawford with the County of San Diego Office of Emergency Services.Across Southern California, more than 1,200 buildings have been destroyed. The state Office of Emergency Services did not have an overall estimate of evacuations Tuesday morning — but the numbers were expected to grow.As dawn broke on the third day of the fires, the toll mounted as authorities issued new evacuations in San Diego County. One of those, on the La Jolla Indian Reservation in San Diego County, spread to 400 acres and was racing up the side of Palomar Mountain.

300,000 evacuated as California wildfires rage on by Rob Woollard OCT 23,07

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - More than 300,000 people were evacuated across California on Tuesday as wildfires raged across the state, prompting President George W. Bush to declare an emergency. Wind-driven infernos that erupted on Sunday have so far destroyed an estimated 700 houses and businesses and scorched 260,000 acres (1,000 square kilometers), making the fire one of the worst in California's history.One person has died and more than 20 people have been injured in the 14 or so fires that have erupted since Sunday.An estimated 300,000 people have been forced to flee their homes while an additional 200,000 people have been advised to evacuate, according to reports.The destruction has prompted Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to deploy National Guard soldiers to help support around 6,000 firefighters who are tackling the flames.Bush late Monday declared an emergency in California and ordered federal aid be directed to the fire-stricken region.

Many parts of the state, including Los Angeles, have experienced record low rainfalls and record-high temperatures this year, leaving vast swathes of parched countryside at the mercy of fires.
The flames are being propelled by a seasonal weather system known as Santa Ana winds. Authorities recorded powerful gusts of between 60 and 100 miles (97 and 160 kilometers) per hour on Monday. The wind is not forecast to diminish until Wednesday.Local news reported that two big-rig trucks had been knocked over by powerful gusts in mountain passes near the town of Lake Arrowhead.It's a tragic time for California, said Schwarzenegger after touring charred remains of buildings in the celebrity enclave of Malibu on Monday.The fires are so vast that several could be seen from space and smoke was so thick in the area that weather radars mistook it for rain clouds.The White House announced Tuesday that Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency in southern California.

The Bush administration was heavily criticized after Hurricane Katrina struck the US gulf coast in 2005 for FEMA's slow response and poor coordination with state officials.Several thousand personnel backed up by 316 fire engines, 19 air tankers, 15 bulldozers and eight helicopters battled the myriad infernos throughout the night.These fires that are sweeping through Southern California are a perfect storm, said Los Angeles County supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.The fire department and law enforcement personnel have been stressed almost beyond the point of reason because there are so many fires going.The winds are erratic and unpredictable. There is no telling where the fires will move and when.Los Angeles County Fire Chief Michael Freeman said he hoped to get help from Northern California, Arizona and Nevada firefighters to help his exhausted crews. We've been talking about the drought and the Santa Ana (winds), and with very low humidity it is a design for disaster, he said.

In San Diego, many evacuees were sent to Qualcomm Stadium, home of the San Diego Chargers' American football team. By early Tuesday, several thousand weary evacuees were huddled inside the stadium.
One woman, Nancy Canfield, said she was relieved to have escaped with her family, including her grandchildren. I'm just thankful we all got out, we're all safe. I don't care about anything else.In Malibu, residents were struggling to come to terms with damage inflicted by the blaze. Thousands of buildings have been evacuated, including the homes of Titanic director James Cameron and Grease movie star Olivia Newton-John. TMZ.com reported that the exclusive Promises rehabilitation center, which has hosted stars Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, was being evacuated. The causes of the different fires raging throughout the state varied, with a fallen power line believed to be the cause of the blaze in Malibu and arson blamed for a fire in Orange County that torched 15,000 acres (6,070 ha).
