[Essential California]( Essential California [Send to friend](mailto:?subject=Essential California: Wildfires rage in a record heat wave&body= | [Open in browser]( Good morning, and welcome to the [Essential California newsletter](. It is Saturday, July 7. Here’s what you don’t want to miss this weekend: TOP STORIES The worst of this week’s heat wave hit Southern California on Friday, sparking several brush fires that burned numerous homes in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties. Powerful sundowner winds on the Santa Barbara County coast helped fuel the Holiday fire, which burned several homes in the hills above Goleta and threatened many others. Meanwhile, a fast-moving fire in the San Bernardino National Forest prompted authorities to tell Forest Falls residents to flee their homes. The most serious of the fires burned along Interstate 8 near Alpine. [Los Angeles Times]( — Many parts of Southern California recorded new high-temperature marks for the date Friday, with a few spots reaching the hottest readings ever recorded. [Los Angeles Times]( — Southern California’s heat wave has been putting a strain on the power grid. [Los Angeles Times]( — Here are some tips to survive the heat. [Los Angeles Times]( Water, water everywhere For its litany of problems, it’s been hard to kill the tiny Sativa-Los Angeles County Water District. It has survived scandals involving financial instability, nepotism, poor maintenance and mismanagement. Then in the last year, brown, smelly water started coming out of the taps — giving authorities what they believe is their best chance to close the water district once and for all. But it won’t be easy. The first challenge is economic: Sativa delivers inexpensive water to 1,600 homes in Compton and Willowbrook, and finding a replacement has been hard. The second is legal: Laws intended to thwart government overreach make it difficult to shut down a district — even one as troubled as Sativa.

Robert Arcos, one of three finalists for the chief job, will head the department's patrol operations. [Los Angeles Times]( Plus: Authorities said they are seeing more gangs turn to homemade guns as it becomes more difficult to acquire real ones. [Los Angeles Times]( On the campaign trail: “Insurers, doctors and nurses are spending millions on lobbying and donations to lawmakers’ campaigns in the current legislative session, battling over costly large-scale changes as they await Gov. Jerry Brown’s successor.” [Sacramento Bee]( On the campaign trail, Part 2: After representing California for a quarter of a century, Sen.
