Tehachapi Fire Burns almost 20 Buildings

With 450 firefighters, five air tankers, four helicopters and bulldozers in the battle, fire officials were unable to get the upper hand on the blaze, hindered by rugged terrain, heavy brush and grass, and changing wind patterns.



Two fast-moving brush fires in remote areas of Kern County have destroyed dozens of structures according to fire officials. The most destructive of the fires was burning in the Old Ranch West area near Tehachapi.
