 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Firefighters scrambled Monday to mop up hot spots from three Southern California wildfires before an expected return of high winds that could rekindle smoldering embers.
The National Weather Service forecast hot, dry winds with gusts of 50 mph for late Monday through Wednesday in Ventura, Los Angeles and southern Santa Barbara counties.
An 1,100-acre fire in rugged terrain in Burbank was 70 percent contained, said Capt. Ron Bell of the Burbank Fire Department.
