weather finally improves for american fire fighters

Cooler weather finally helped firefighters make strong gains on many of the wildfires burning across Southern California on Saturday after a long hard struggle to bring wild fires under control. i was really pleased when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had said that if people had started the fire were going to be caught and those who had thought about putting in fake insurance claims, those who thought about looting through what was left in the disaster aeras not to bother as they will be found out and delt with.
Survivors of firestorms that destroyed more than 2,000 homes in Southern California found reasons Sunday to be thankful even as the damage toll mounted and firefighters worked to contain blazes. Fire officials kept an eye on warm, dry weather that moved in behind a moist, tropical system that allowed fire crews to make gains Saturday. Winds up to 15 mph were expected but weren't considered a problem. This is not bad conditions for the many fire fightesrs to tackle blazes unlike the The Santa Ana winds which can not be tackled and can also be very dangerous which was one of the main causes of the fires by knocking down power lines.
