California wildfires rage; dry lightning; weather cooperates

Firefighters battling the historic blazes in Northern California made progress Tuesday in getting the massive fires under control after weather conditions helped them out the day before.

Temperatures cooled in the region, lightning strikes, many of which sparked the fires, decreased, and fire officials said they’ve had successes battling three blazes burning around the San Francisco Bay Area as they prepare for a “marathon” in the coming weeks to suppress the rest of the wildfires.
