California firefighters admit fire is out of control in California’s Mojave National Preserve. Winds are constantly changing direction, challenging efforts to fight the flames.
Thousands of hectares have already burned in the vast wildlife reserve, unique in its characteristics of the Mojave Desert.

Further north, an uncontrollable forest fire crossed the border from the American state of Washington to Canada, which recorded the fourth death of a firefighter this Sunday.
