Fire crews controlling California blaze
Cooler temperatures and weaker winds have helped firefighters gain greater control of a California wildfire that killed four of their comrades. Police are hunting for an arsonist who faces murder charges if caught. The fire was deliberately started early on Thursday morning and has charred 16,370 hectares, burning 34 homes to the ground. It was 70 per cent contained by Sunday morning.
