"My place is going to be safe, my ani- mals are going to be safe." Lower temperatures and higher humidity Monday al- lowed firefighters to contain more of the fire, said CalFire Capt. Don Camp. "We are hoping we only have to deal with winds from the weather instead of the fire creating its own winds," he said. Numerous other wild- fires in California, Washing- ton state and Oregon took off as the effects of drought and summer heat turned the West Coast combusti- ble. California blazes killed a firefighter last week and injured four others. Crews in the Lower Lake area conducted controlled burns, setting fire to shrubs to rob the blaze of fuel and protect some of 5,500 homes threatened. The fire was burning in a rural area of grasslands and steep hills. The fire destroyed at least 24 homes and 26 outbuild- ings. More than 13,000 peo- ple have been forced from their homes or have been warned to leave. More fire crews were brought in, bringing the number of firefighters to nearly 3,000. Two more Na- tional Guard air tankers were being brought in from Colorado to drop retardant, Tolmachoff said. Crews battled 20 other wildfires in California — some sparked by lightning — though none as big as the Lower Lake blaze. Manda- tory evacuations were also in place farther north in a remote rural area of the Shasta-Trinity National For- est. The Lower Lake fire is well short of historic pro- portions. One of the largest wildfires in California his- tory was a 2013 blaze that took out 400 square miles of Sierra Nevada wilderness. Fires FROM PAGE 1 JEFF CHIU — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Firefighters walk under smoke from fires along Morgan Valley Road near Lower Lake Friday. A series of wildfires were intensified by dry vegetation, triple-digit temperatures and gusting winds. Corning residents Joe and Judy Lindell brought two cars to the show, a red 1965 Ford Mustang with white Shelby stripes down the middle belonging to Judy and a 1964 Chevy Im- pala SS belonging to Joe. Joe Lindell spent quite a bit of time on the cars and spent about four and half months rebuilding the 289 motor, reupholstering the seatsandpaintingthestripes on the Mustang, all out of his garage, he said. Jeri Ward of Rancho Te- hamaandherboyfriendRich Blakely of Orland stopped to admiretheImpala,talkingto Lindell while Ward stopped to take pictures of it. The couple had heard about the show while eating at Bud's Jolly Kone, where they noticed a poster for the event, Ward said. "We came out to support it this year and, of course, to support the veterans," Ward said. "I hope it gets bigger. Maybe we'll bring Rich's ve- hicle next year." Blakely has a 1937 Ford pickup, Ward said. Ron Warner brought his 1929 DeSoto, which is one of 13 of its kind in the world, he said. It is named Mrs. Helen after his mother and took third overall in the show. Tehama County Super- visor Burt Bundy brought his recently finished 1957 Chevy Bel Air to the show. While he's owned it for sev- eral years, he just entered his first show in 2014 when he attended the Kool April Ni- tes event in Redding, Bundy said. "I mostly take it to local shows," Bundy said. "I've had it for 20 years and been working on it as I had time or money." The car show result was a people's choice selection in which attendees purchased tickets for $1 and used those to cast a vote for their favor- ite. Close to 100 people at- tended the breakfast at the event and many stayed to cast a vote, Benson said. Results for the show are as follows: 1st Place Vince Dunn, Cottonwood, with a 1969 Ford Torino; 2nd Place Morgan Trotter, Corning, with a 1971 Ford Torino 500; 3rd Place Ron Warner, Tehama, with a 1929 Desoto DeLujo.
