Crews were digging in and burning out fire lines amid fears that another round of high winds on Saturday will bring renewed fury to a wildfire in the United States.

“We have a firefight ahead of us and the wind today is going to make it very challenging,” said Keith Wade, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire.
