A wildfire engulfs Angel Island with Alcatraz in the foreground in San Francisco October 13, 2008. Rugged terrain and difficulty transporting equipment across the San Francisco Bay complicated efforts to corral a 250 acre wildfire that started Sunday evening on the island. Dry conditions all over California lead to yet more wildfires costing the state, homeowners, and business, in the billions of dollars.
