California wildfires: One dead as fire crews battle to contain blaze

Late on Thursday, firefighters found the body of a bulldozer operator who was hired privately to clear vegetation in the blaze's path, CalFire spokesman Scott McLean said. Three firefighters and an unknown number of civilians suffered burns during the fire, but information on the extent of their injuries was not immediately known. Governor Jerry Brown declared states of emergency for the three largest fires, which will authorise the state to rally resources to local governments.
