It is not clear whether arrests have been made. The fires in and around El Dorado were set in motion by fireworks that should have livened up the gender announcement of an upcoming baby. These parties, which are becoming increasingly popular, often involve accidents involving fireworks. Sometimes even with fatal outcome.
The fire brigade has again reminded the population of the affected areas that it is not wise to use fireworks under these conditions in the bone-dry nature.
The fire started Saturday morning in Yucaipa, 115 kilometers east of Los Angeles. More than 200 camping guests had to be evacuated by helicopters last weekend. They became trapped in the fire.
A photo from California rescue services shows how at least 20 of the campers are close together in a Chinook helicopter. Some quickly took some belongings with them.
