Comments:
Land management agencies and fire control personnel battled fourteen wind-driven wildfires across southern California in late October and early November 2003. These fires killed 22 people, destroyed 3,600 homes, blackened nearly 740,000 acres, and will end up as one of the more costly natural disasters in California history, according to then Governor Gray Davis.
