Wildfires rage in bone-dry California - Homes and lives lost...
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger sought help from other states as wind-fueled fires burned 356,000 acres (142,400 hectares) across Southern California, consuming hundreds of houses, killing two people and uprooting more than a quarter- million more.
About 68,500 homes and 2,200 businesses are threatened by fires, and 321,000 residents have fled, Rochelle Jenkins, a spokeswoman for the state's emergency response team, said in an interview today.
``I'm heartbroken to see those things,'' Schwarzenegger said in a news conference after touring burned houses in San Diego. ``These are people that have saved all their lives to pay for those homes. We have to do everything we can to help these people.''
