FORESTHILL. (AP) — Fire crews aided by cooler temperatures and higher humidity made significant gains Wednesday against California's wildfires. Most of the evacuations ordered in Placer County were lifted by morning, as firefighters made progress overnight against a blaze that has burned for a week and threatened dozens of homes. State fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said the so-called Robbers Fire near Foresthill was 70 percent contained.
