California firefighters chase new fires ignited by lightning

Associated Press  

SAN FRANCISCO — Firefighters scrambled Friday to quash fires ignited by lightning as thunderstorms with mostly small but welcome amounts of rain rumbled across drought-stricken Northern California, where forests have been burning for weeks. Firefighters were diverted from the huge Caldor Fire south of Lake Tahoe to fight multiple overnight lightning fires throughout El Dorado County, according to the local unit of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. A cluster of 2020 lightning fires known as the August Complex burned more than 1,615 square miles and is considered the largest California wildfire on record. The official downtown San Francisco rain gauge recorded 0.01 inch of rain by 5 a.m., marking the first time it has rained there on Sept. 10 since 1978, the weather service said.
