Default LA County fires ebb; Weather looks cooler

Good news on the natural disaster front...

Cooler temperatures look to roll in to LA for Breeders' Cup and the the two fires that were problematic the last week appear under control...



California Fires Coming Under Control, Red Flag Warning Remains
by: Jennifer Walker
October 16 2008

By Wednesday night, firefighters in Southern California were gaining ground against the wildfires that had been affecting the area, forcing many horse owners to evacuate with their animals. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported the Marek fire was 92% contained with predictions of being fully contained by midnight, and the Sesnon fire was 50% contained. The Los Angeles County Fire Department received notification from the National Weather Service that weather is predicted to remain dry enough to constitute a "Red Flag Warning," which will remain in effect through late Friday.
