Forest fires sweep across Southern California, killing four, destroying 60 homes, and blackening 132,000 acres. Winds up to 70 mph drive the flames while firefighters struggle to control them. Nighttime. Puffy columns of smoke rise from brush fires. The fires make the smoke visible in the night. Flickers of fire set against darkness. A balded mountain shows a fire line working downward. A solid line of flame. Daylight. A man stands along a road consumed by a thick haze of smoke. Fires blown by strong winds cross the road in front of him. A fireman takes a hose from his truck to try and battle a blaze.
