Los Angeles, Nov. 23.
Fearing staggering property damages, three California counties today desperately fought to prevent terrific brush fires from sweeping to new areas and endangering lives and property.
San Bernardino was the hardest hit. Two furious mountain fires were raging in the district. Amateur radio operators reported that one of the fires had ignited the million-dollar Arrowhead Spring resort.
Guests of the resort, however, reached safety before the flames had set on fire the bridges spanning the canyon and which connected the resort road.
Firemen helped to rescue the guests but in their dash to safety they were forced to leave two fire trucks behind.
