PLACERVILLE, Calif. (AP) — Crews battling a massive blaze threatening thousands of homes east of Sacramento have kept the fire in check despite gusty winds and low humidity. In the few cases where embers crossed the line overnight, firefighters were quickly able to surround the fires and contain them. The fire has burned through 145 square miles since it started Sept. 13. It has destroyed 12 homes and is threatening another 12,000. Containment is up to nearly 40 percent. Crews expect gusty winds and low humidity again today before cooler, wetter weather comes through.
