SFGATE: Bay Area celebrates Fourth of July with fireworks in SF

Bay Area celebrates Fourth of July with fireworks in SF Published on July 05, 2018 at 10:28AM by By Cynthia Dizikes and Steve Rubenstein That little misunderstanding with King George seemed all but forgotten Wednesday as Sausalito officials tied red-white-and-blue balloons to its antique cars, paraded noisily down the main drag and threw enough candy at its curbside children to keep every dentist in town in a celebratory mood. “Let bygones be bygones,” said Dominic Ensore, a British citizen who found himself sitting on Bridgeway as the town’s humble, heartfelt Fourth of July parade wheeled by. “We lost.

SFGATE: Exploding wildfires in US West derail holiday plans

Exploding wildfires in US West derail holiday plans Published on July 04, 2018 at 12:06PM by By COLLEEN SLEVIN, Associated Press DENVER (AP) — A growing wildfire destroyed more than 100 homes in the Colorado mountains, while other blazes across the parched U.S. West kept hundreds of other homes under evacuation orders and derailed holiday plans. Authorities announced late Monday that a fire near Fort Garland, about 205 miles (330 kilometers) southwest of Denver, had destroyed 104 homes in a mountain housing development started by multimillionaire publisher Malcolm Forbes in the 1970s. The damage toll could rise because the burn area is still being surveyed. Tamara Estes' family cabin, which her parents had built in 1963 using wood and rocks from the land, was among the homes destroyed. "I think it's sinking in more now. But we're just crying," she said.
