Firefighters Report Progress in Bonny Doon FELTON, Calif. (KCBS/AP) - Firefighters continue to battle several raging wildfires in Northern California that have destroyed houses and forced thousands to flee their homes. In Santa Cruz County, about 900 firefighters are battling the fast-moving wildfire that had grown to 700 acres and destroyed nearly a dozen structures in the Bonny Doon community. It's only about 25 percent contained. Firefighters took advantage of cooler temperatures overnight to put a line around the fire. "I talked to law enforcement, how was your night, they said really boring, which means there wasn't a lot of activity," offered Cal-Fire spokesman Bill Peters. "This is what you want on a fire, really boring, because that's good." Unfortunately, the fire has destroyed 10 structures, at least one of those was a guest cabin in the town of Bonny Doon. There has still been no announcement about when residents might expect to return to their homes.
