(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Weather forecasters have warned that dry temperatures fuelling a series of wildfires in California will continue with no rain in sight until next week.
The Carr Fire – the deadliest ongoing blaze – is now the seventh most destructive in state history.
Meteorologists say the Carr blaze is so strong that it is created its own local weather system with errant winds.
More than 11,000 fire crews and 950 trucks have arrived to fight the fires, which have so far claimed six lives.
