1,500 flee as fires chew through dry Calif. brush

Wildfires chewed through tinder-dry brush in California on Friday, forcing around 1,500 people to flee ritzy seaside neighborhoods, comfortable foothill suburbs and tiny farming communities.

Most of the evacuations were ordered for the wealthy seaside community of Rancho Palos Verdes. Fire Inspector Frederic Stowers said the mandatory evacuations were ordered until 6 a.m. Friday.
