OSEI MEDIA ALERT #03300

SUBJECT: FIRES IN CALIFORNIA

According to Reuters News Service, at least 13 people have been killed
in the state's deadliest outbreak of fires in more than a decade. About
30,000 homes were endangered by the fires, driven by warm Santa Ana
winds, which had consumed more than 330,000 acres, or 500 square miles
almost half the size of the state of Rhode Island of dense, dry brush
and trees.
More than 7,000 firefighters battled the spreading flames.
