State of Emergency in San Bernardino County

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in San Bernardino County as fire fighters gained control of the Freeway Complex Fire.

The blaze has burned nearly 29,000 acres, damaged or destroyed more than 160 homes and forced evacuations and road closures.

The proclamation makes local agencies eligible to be reimbursed for firefighting costs.

The governor on Saturday declared emergencies in Riverside and Orange counties after the Freeway Fire raged through Carbon Canyon.

The state of emergency is the second to be announced this year in San Bernardino County. In October, a wildfire raced down the 215 Freeway, destroying three business.
