US-WILDFIRES-CALIFORNIA
A firefighter looks over his shoulder as fast-rising flames follow him while using a drip torch to set a backfire to fight the Edgemont fire on 15 July, 2006, near Redlands, California. The Edgemont fire is the newest of a series threatening wildfires that are spreading with the help of triple-digit heat and low humidity that is gripping southern California. It was the fifth day of scorching fires, under unfavorable firefighting weather conditions: high, dry heat and strong winds. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency Thursday in southern parts of the state, with fires sweeping an area some 125 miles (200 kilometers) east of Los Angeles.
