Southern California firefighters saw a shift in weather conditions favoring their efforts against major wildfires, leading to increased confidence as temperatures cooled and humidity rose.
Firefighters described a significant improvement in conditions as temperatures dropped to the 80s from last week's extreme highs, helping them gain ground on fires in the region.
With gusty winds subsiding and the National Weather Service predicting continued cooling and humidity this weekend, officials expressed hope for further progress against the blazes.
Operations section chief Jeremy Pierce noted that the favorable weather conditions were critical for controlling the Line fire in the San Bernardino Mountains, enhancing firefighters' morale.
