Firefighting, not fireworks, was the watchword in California. The major blazes are on the coastal zone, around the tourist resort of Big Sur and in Los Podres National Forest on the outskirts of Santa Barbara. ABC filed from both locations, Brian Rooney on Santa Barbara evacuations and Laura Marquez (embargoed link) on the protection of Big Sur's historic district. CBS and NBC had a single reporter summarize both: Bill Whitaker told us about sundowner winds that fan flames after nightfall; George Lewis, who covered the sundowners Thursday, focused on the firefighters' fears that Fourth of July fireworks may start still more.
