Wildfire season begins in California -- one already burning
Tracy, California-AP -- Wildfire season is under way in California -- and already there are flames. A fast-moving grass fire has burned more than two-thousand acres near Tracy in California's Central Valley. The fire was 50 percent contained last night. Some power lines are threatened -- but no homes are in danger.
The fire has been fanned by 20 mile-an-hour winds and they're expected to continue. But officials say an increase in humidity could help firefighters.
