SOBOBA HOT SPRINGS, California (AP) -- The mother of one of the four

firefighters who died battling a wildfire that authorities blamed on arson

has urged whoever was responsible to surrender to authorities.

"I firmly believe you didn't believe that things were going to turn out the

way they did, but they did," said Bonnie McKay, whose son Jason, 27, died

Thursday. "Don't let the remorse eat you alive. Come forward. ... I for one

will try not to judge you. There is only one who can judge you."

Meanwhile, firefighters took advantage of calm weather and dissipating Santa

Ana winds on Saturday, making headway against the 62-square-mile

conflagration by dumping water and retardant on flames using a fleet of

helicopters and airplanes, including a DC-10 jumbo jet.

"Today is a turning point that will tell if our containment survives," said

Janet Upton, a California Department of Forestry spokeswoman at the command

post in Beaumont, 90 miles east of Los Angeles.

The 39,900-acre blaze blaze was 40 percent contained, two days after gusts

overran a U.S. Forest Service crew, killing four of its members and leaving

a fifth clinging to life with burns over most of his body.

Firefighter Pablo Cerda, 23, was listed in critical condition Saturday at

Arrowhead Regional Medical Center after surgery Friday to remove damaged

skin.

A reward for information leading to the arsonist soared to $500,000 Friday,

as $100,000 posted by Riverside County quickly multiplied with matching

offers from the state, neighboring San Bernardino County, Rancho Mirage

resident Tim Blixseth and the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.

Investigators were looking into whether the wildfire was related to other

blazes in recent months, including a canyon fire last weekend, though a

sheriff's spokesman said there was no immediate indication of a serial

arsonist.

Residents said they saw two young men leaving the area where the fire broke

out early Thursday west of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Fire officials said there had been six other minor injuries to firefighters

and, after completion of damage assessments, raised the number of destroyed

homes to 27, up from earlier estimates of 10.

Evacuation orders remained in effect for about 500 homes in Twin Pines and

Poppet Flat, communities where homes burned. Residents were allowed back in

for several hours to retrieve personal items and feed or remove animals.

Forecasters predicted winds would ease and temperatures would drop slightly

throughout the weekend, which could help as crews work to build firelines

around the blaze.

The north side of the fire, paralleling Interstate 10, was considered

well-contained. On the west flank, Highway 79 was reopened after

firefighters stopped the fire's advance in that direction.

Major firefighting activity focused on the south side of the fire to prevent

any southerly spread toward small communities including Soboba Hot Springs

and San Jacinto.

Water-dropping helicopters operated from a landing zone in a grapefruit

orchard on the Soboba Indian Reservation as retardant bombers flew overhead,

and a half-dozen bulldozers lined up at the mouth of Castile Canyon, ready

to move in to cut fire breaks.

Hotshot crews of reinforcements moved in as fire Battalion Chief Art Nevarez

and his crew from neighboring Orange County came out of the canyon after a

night of firefighting in what one called "goat country."

"We were real fortunate last night because the wind lay down for us," said

Nevarez, who helped fight another major wildfire last month.

"When the Santa Anas come through, then it's really the big finale," he said

of the fire season.

On Saturday, fire vehicles were gathered in the area and investigators

walked with heads down as they looked for evidence around the ignition point

near Esperanza Avenue.

One law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity described

the investigation as being in its "infancy."

Authorities declared the fire arson within hours of its start but have

withheld details of any evidence they have. Fire officials have noted an

unusual number of fires in the area in recent months, including one in a

nearby canyon a week ago.

Investigators have not said how they know the blaze was arson, though they

said those responsible could face murder charges
