A brush fire burned 86 cars at a CarMax automobile dealership lot in Bakersfield, southern California. The fire was possibly caused by a big-rig dragging a chain or some other object that created sparks and ignited the tinder-dry brush. The blaze spread to the dealership's parking lot, destroying 26 cars and damaging 60 others. The total loss was estimated at 2.1 million U.S. dollars, but no injuries were reported.
