WASHINGTON _ More help is on the way for the increasingly devastating California fire season, thanks to Congress.
Only trouble is, that help won't be there this year, possibly not next year or the year after that. And the last time Congress tried to provide the same resources, after years of work and approving tens of millions of dollars, nothing happened.
The Carr fire ravaging California has destroyed more than 1,000 homes in and around Redding, north of San Francisco, and killed at least six people. It's currently the seventh most destructive fire in California's history. State officials don't expect the rest of this year's fire season to ease.
