California fires: Firefighters struggle to contain blaze
Firefighters are still struggling to contain series of blazes in California, despite a slight drop in temperatures, BBC reports.
Some 9,000 firefighters worked throughout Monday in steep terrain and rugged conditions to battle about 18 fires, officials said.
The biggest blaze - the so-called Rocky fire north of San Francisco - is reported to be spreading fast and has already consumed more than 90 square miles (145 sq km) of land.
Thousands have been ordered evacuated.
Authorities said some progress had been made in tackling the number of fires, which have been brought down from 21.
