A California wildfire burned for a fourth day on Friday above the seaside town of Santa Barbara as fire-fighters battled flames that have damaged or destroyed 80 homes.
Another 3,500 homes and about 100 businesses remained in immediate jeopardy from the so-called Jesusita fire, which had blackened more than 8,600 acres (3,480 hectares) in the foothills above the picturesque community, according to an update by the Santa Barbara Fire Department late on Friday.
