"Now we are way down to number 19." Maurer and his workers have divided the campus into different working areas were they concentrate on the grooming and trimming.

CSUF Students, from page seven remembered from just three hours "We could see smoke all over the horizon when we entered the LA basin," McKenna said, but added that while they saw tires in the distance, they were just that, in the distance. Cloud said when they entered Paramount all the fires were miles away, but when they left a major fire was burning just a couple of blocks away. Telling his friends he wanted to go shoot pictures of the fires, the group walked back to their cars. "We thought that we would be safe after we got to Paramount," said Shipwith. "As.soon as the guys walked us to our car, we started to see looters running down the streets car rying floor fans, stacks of jeans from stores,drivingby with cars piled high with stuff. We decided to head toward Beverly Hills and ca tch the freeway home to Fresno." Thafs right," Duell said. "We drove all the way back at 75 mph or better, we even passed cops! Nobody cared, trafficgoing out of the city was flying." Cloud and his friends drove down La Brea, following a rising smoke plume to the nearest fire. Just a few blocks from the studio they came upon what was left of Sammy's Cameras. The building was fully engulfed, burning so fiercely that the big steel doorsout front were twisting, melting. There were five police officers standing in a group, watching for looters. Three fire engines were already there,butoruyahandfulof firefighters to man them. One directed a water cannon, the others were spread out, directing civilian volunteers manning hoses, showing them where to direct the water. Passersby and neighbors toiled side by side, trying to save the building. Cloud and his friends drove six blocks more do wn the street, arriving at a burning 40,000 square foot electronics warehouse with flames cresting 30-to-40 feet above it. There weren't any firefighters or police officers on the scene yet. Other than two men on the roof of the small house right next to the build ing, nobody was trying to fight the flames. Cloud climbed up a ladder onto the roof to talk to the two men, one of whom was trying to wet down his roof with a garden hose. He told Cloud that he had just bought the house and moved in the day before. His neighbor was trying to help him keep the flames from spreading from the warehouse, which stood less than eight feet away from the man's residence. Twenty minutes later the first of four engine companies roared up, reeling out hose lines. The the wind picked up, forcing the firefighters to pull back.
