Wildfire Roars On, Burning Five Cabins
From Times Wire Reports
A windblown wildfire that already has destroyed more than 300 mountaintop homes pushed into a previously untouched subdivision, burning five cabins and threatening 60 others.
The losses occurred in Willow Canyon, one of three areas in the Santa Catalina Mountains threatened by the 2 1/2-week-old fire that already had blackened 68,000 acres.
Firefighters set backfires and cleared brush to defend homes in other areas, an observatory and communication towers.
