PALM SPRINGS, CA - Four days into fighting a wildfire that has scorched 5,000 acres in the San Jacinto Mountains near Palm Springs, firefighters have managed to contain only 20 percent of the blaze, but Forest Service officials Monday night announced the names of the three men who have been cited for building a campfire that is thought to have started it.

They also will be billed for fire suppression costs, which currently total $1,700,000, and continue to rise.
