ByChristopherWeber The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Cooler weather Monday was ex- pected to aid crews making progress against a huge for- est fire in a remote area of the San Bernardino Moun- tains — the largest of sev- eral blazes burning across California. The fire about 90 miles east of Los Angeles was 21 percent contained and holding steady at about 27 square miles as firefighters attacked the flames with a fleet of water-dropping air- craft. About 500 buildings, including old cabins, had been threatened, but none were lost. The flames forced several hundred people to leave camps and vacation homes in the mountains. The National Weather Service said a high pressure system that pushed temper- atures into triple digits in Southern California over the weekend was drifting east, prompting gradual cooling and increasing hu- midity. The cause of the fire that began Wednesday re- mained unknown. NorthernCalifornia In Northern California, reinforcements were on the way to help battle a wildfire south of Lake Tahoe where the tiny town of Marklee- ville was on standby for possible evacuations. The blaze was about 10 percent contained after burning nearly 14 square miles of timber and grass since it broke out Friday and forced the evacuation of some campgrounds, said Sierra Front fire spokes- woman Jenny Ramella. Elsewhere, a blaze that burned at least two homes near Santa Mar- garita in Central Califor- nia held steady at just un- der 3 square miles. Helicop- ters took water from nearby Santa Margarita Lake to dump on the blaze that was 60 percent contained. Glenn Westbrook said he and his son grabbed the family's goat, rooster and dog as the flames closed in on Sunday. When they re- turned, their home was a smoldering pile of rubble. "It was pretty much ashes. It was pretty much gone," Westbrook told the San Luis Obispo Tribune. A 920-acre fire in Madera County destroyed three structures and led to the evacuation of a handful of homes. It was 75 percent contained. Firefighters also made gains against a blaze in Si- erra National Forest, south of Yosemite National Park, that burned 500 acres of dry brush. The fire was 40 percent contained after prompting the closure of some camp sites. Three air tankers doused the blaze that officials be- lieve was started by a ve- hicle.

Some of the storms will bring damaging wind gusts, hail and flash flooding. The storms will ease the building heat and humidity in the Northeast, but not in the South. In the South, the combination of heat, humidity, sunshine and lack of wind will create dangerous conditions. A pocket of relatively cool and less humid air will expand over the Great Lakes. More storms will erupt over the northern Plains.
