Crews Make Progress Containing Destructive Wildfires In California, Colorado And Utah

Firefighters continued to build containment around several destructive wildfires in California amid a somewhat promising forecast. But one stubborn blaze in the northern part of the state grew significantly and crossed the border into Oregon. The blaze on the California-Oregon state line known as the Klamathon Fire grew to 55 square miles and leapt into Oregon. It was 25 percent contained. The fire, one of many in the drought-ridden U.S. West, killed one person and destroyed 72 structures, including houses. It also injured three firefighters, including one who had severe burns to his face, according to a Gofundme page that raised more than $28,000 for him in less than 24 hours.
