Fires Char California Photos

U.S. Forest Service Fire Fighters work on a fire line below a home in in Big Sur, Calif., on Monday June 30, 2008. Hundreds of wildfires burned across central and northern California for a second week, an explosive start to a fire season likely to last well into October as dry, hot weather, rough terrain and lightning storms complicate efforts to bring blazes under control.
