Wildfires scorch rangeland, timber

Thousands of acres of rangeland and timberland have burned, as crews battle California wildfires.



Most rangeland was already in poor condition due to dry weather, and fire brings more loss of grasses needed to feed livestock. Fires have hit timber farms, with more than 14-thousand acres of redwoods and Douglas fir trees reported to have burned. Fire crews are stretched so thin that at least one timber farm has hired private firefighters to try to save its trees.
