In California, the fast-moving Caldor Fire has leveled most of the town
of Grizzly Flats, including the town's elementary school, community
church and post office. The fire has expanded to over 62,000 acres. On
Wednesday, Cal Fire authorities transferred 30 engines from fighting the
massive Dixie Fire to the Caldor Fire. California is now battling at
least 13 major fires.
