Thursday, October 25, 2007-Calmer, cooler breezes have replaced the Santa Ana winds that fueled the wildfires, allowing firefighters to bring a few of the blazes under control. Officials are allowing some evacuees to return to their homes, but fires still threaten thousands of houses and businesses, and latest reports indicate that none of the blazes is more than 50 percent contained. Overall, the wildfires have destroyed approximately 17,000 structures-from storage sheds to businesses and luxury homes-and torched an area of some 600 square miles. (Report from the Red Cross of King County)
