12. 10. 2019 г., CNN Paul Vercammen, Lisa Bacon. Two people have been
killed in wildfires in Southern California, authorities said Saturday. As
firefighters continued to battle multiple blazes in the region, tens of
thousands of evacuees were cleared to return home. The Sandalwood Fire in Calimesa, some 70 miles east of Los Angeles, has
killed an 89-year-old woman in a mobile home, and another person who has not
yet been identified, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.
The fire, which started as a trash
fire that spread to vegetation, has destroyed at least 90 structures since it
began Thursday, fire officials said. It has burned more than 820 acres and was
at least 25% contained as of Saturday. In Los Angeles, all evacuation
orders were lifted Saturday after the Saddleridge
Fire -- the largest of the fires currently burning in Southern California --
moved away from neighborhoods and into hillsides.

as the strong Santa Ana winds appeared to have given firefighters a break on
Saturday. The fire has destroyed 31 homes and burned more than 7,500
acres, the Los
Angeles Fire Department said.
As hundreds of
thousands of evacuees returned, Monica Silver and her family found their home
completely charred. Her friends started fundraising to help them and her
children's teachers offered to buy backpacks and school books. «We feel loved, we feel very
loved» -- Silver
said. Firefighters were planning to continue using air tanks to ensure the fire
does not breach containment lines on Saturday, the fire department said. The
South Coast Air Quality Management District was telling residents to protect themselves from heavy smoke and
unhealthy air conditions.

When a ranch worker reached out for
help on social media, friends and strangers helped him bring dozens of horses to
safety.Forty horses were nervously running back and
forth on Friday as flames and smoke surrounded the Saddletree Ranch Equestrian
Center in Sylmar. The flames were spreading rapidly as Alejo
Morales, a worker at the ranch, and his colleagues were scrambling to evacuate
the horses, so he posted a message on social media asking for help.
«We had a lot of friends
that came through and helped us», -- Morales
told CNN affiliate KCAL. «We
started getting phone calls and (more) phone calls, and people just started
piling up and getting the horses (out)» Friends and strangers rushed over
with trailers and shuttled the horses to safety. The equestrian center lost
several thousand dollars' worth of property but the horses and ranch workers
made it unscathed. «We want to thank the
whole community for helping us out» --another worker, Horacio
Diaz, told KCAL «They really came through
for us».

The Saddleridge
and Sandalwood fires are only a few of the many fires burning in Southern California. Less
than 20 miles away in Moreno Valley, the Reche Fire
has burned at least 350 acres
and was 85% contained. The fire went from 100 to 200 acres in about 90 minutes,
before nearly doubling two hours later. Mandatory evacuations have been issued
in surrounding areas, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Some
residents have been allowed back in or near their homes, but city officials
said the danger is not over.
