President Bush boosted aid to the 7 counties in California affected by the raging fires. This will speed money to the people who sustained a loss to property and their insurance will not cover it, and it will assit the local governments in getting all their firefighters and other emergency personnel paid.

The counties covered in the major disaster declaration are   Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura. 1500 homes have been destroyed in the last 3 days in these places, and more than a million people have been evacuated.
