Senior U.S. officials to visit wildfire-weary California

(Reuters) - Two senior members of the Trump administration will visit California on Monday, where firefighters are battling infernos that have killed at least eight people. Some 110 wildfires are burning swathes of the western United States, which is facing an unusually active fire year that has so far burned more than 8,900 square miles (23,000 square kilometers), an area larger than the state of New Jersey, according to federal data.
