Hundreds evacuated as California firefighters battle wildfires

More than 300 campers, including 90 Girl Scouts and another 130 deaf children, were evacuated early Saturday as a fast-moving wildfire swept through Angeles National Forest in southern California, threatening area campgrounds and highways, according to UPI.

The so-called Pine Fire began Friday about 9:30p.m. and has since engulfed some 200 acres along the Angeles Crest Highway. More than 150 firefighters have been trying to douse the flames. No one has been injured.

At the same time, 676 firefighters are continuing their battle against a second fire, dubbed the North Fire, which jumped Interstate 15 and set 20 vehicles ablaze.
