WILDFIRE NEWS OF THE DAY - 070308

As the Gap fire tears through vegetation in Santa Barbara County that hasn't burned since 1954 and Camp Pendleton is ablaze again, the fires across California continue to stretch firefighting resources thin, heading towards the 500,000 acre mark. The military is getting more heavily involved in the fight, with the California National Guard putting boots on the ground while units from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and the Air Force's 302nd Air Expeditionary Group tackle fires from the air.
