  Firefighters Making Ground On Big Fires In The West
  LOS ANGELES (CBS13/AP) — Dozens of wildfires burned across the torrid U.S. West on Monday, but fire agencies reported some progress in corralling the flames and forecasters predicted a gradual decrease in extreme temperatures.
  The National Weather Service said, however, that the heatwave appeared to have peaked in many areas, and excessive-heat warnings were largely expected to expire by Monday night or Tuesday.
  The July heatwave followed an unusual June siege of broiling temperatures in the West, and comes amid worsening drought conditions throughout the region.
