REFILE - CORRECTING TYPO IN FIRST SENTENCE
A helicopter flies over palm trees that were stripped of their leaves by the Witch wildfire in Poway, California, October 25, 2007. Border patrol agents discovered four charred bodies in rugged mountains near the Mexican border on Thursday, bringing the probable death toll from California's wildfires to 12, even as fire fighters gained the upper hand in their five-day battle.
