California Wildfire Map Shows Where Fires Are Still Burning

Firefighters in Northern California continued to battle more than a dozen blazes Tuesday. Some 100,000 acres of land were decimated by the fires, most of which began Sunday evening. Firefighters were able to contain some of the fires, while others continued to spread thanks to strong winds throughout the state.

California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for numerous counties, including Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino Counties. Cal Fire updated its list of fires Tuesday morning, noting which were still occurring and how contained they were.

The strong winds responsible for spreading many of the fires decreased from up to 60 mph Monday to the single digits Tuesday, according to Cal Fire.

“That’s given us a good opportunity to make progress on these fires,” said assistant deputy director for Cal Fire, Daniel Berlant, according to the Washington Post. “We’re hoping to continue to see less wind and cooler temperature. That combination is a welcomed sight compared to what we dealt with just 24 hours ago.”

At least 11 people have already been killed, while at least 1,500 structures were destroyed. More than 94,000 people in California remained without power Tuesday, according to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. It remained unclear how many people were still unaccounted for as missing persons reports continued to come in. In Sonoma County, about 150 people were reported missing.

“We are confident that many of these people will be found safe and reunited with loved ones,” the Sheriff’s Office said, “but unfortunately we are preparing for further fatalities.”
