wildfires

Another wildfire to the south has burned nearly 225 square miles.

Before last week, those fires had burned 111 square miles or more than 71,000 acres. That was up from 40,000 acres during the same period last year.

More than 1,400 firefighters are battling the blaze 90 miles east of Los Angeles.

Browning says fireworks can be used safely if adults supervise the activity.
