The Latest: 26,000 under evacuation orders near Los Angeles
Authorities are gaining more control over a wildfire that prompted evacuations in Southern California. State fire Capt. Richard Cordova says firefighters are making progress against the 200-acre blaze burning 45 miles (72 kilometers) east of Los Angeles in Jurupa Valley. Strong winds have whipped up blazes at both ends of the state and led utilities to cut off power to prevent such fires for a week.
