A firefighter battles the Cerrito Fire in Corona, Calif., early Wednesday morning, May 5, 2004. More than 1,000 people were evacuated in the northeastern Lake Elsinore area as the Cerrito Fire was whipped up by winds. A marine layer was expected to move into Southern California later Wednesday, increasing moisture that could help slow the spread of the fires.
