Firefighters Battle Huge California Fires

I've noticed something lately about the western half of the United States. It's extremely flammable.
Nearly 4,000 firefighters worked in blistering heat Saturday to corral a huge complex of fires in rugged wilderness and keep them from threatening desert and mountain communities.

So...um...how does a fire spread in the desert?

"This is a very dangerous situation," Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said after flying over the blazes.

Little known fact about Schwarzenegger, he can fly. He's also very intelligent. It only took him a few days to figure out that raging natural fires are dangerous.

"The weather conditions are such - wind and a lot of heat - it is a perfect condition for wildfires."

Brillance. Thank heavens he's on top of things.
