California Wildfires: 5 Firefighters Hurt; New Blazes Spread; 34,000+ Remain Evacuated; Some Major Services Reopen

California's disastrous and deadly wildfires continue to burn Tuesday, but for the first time in several days, there are no new deaths to report. Officials with the state's firefighting agency reported an increase in containment figures to many of the 12 largest incidents.

Over the past nine days, more than 245,000 acres were charred in the Golden State as fires mercilessly burned through more than 5,700 homes. More than 11,000 firefighters remain assigned to the blazes. Forty-one people are dead, according to Cal Fire.

A new fire erupted in Santa Cruz County late Monday, forcing more evacuations in Northern California and injuring multiple firefighters. However, Cal Fire reports "many of the evacuations across the fires" in NorCal were lifted. A major hospital and post offices reopened Tuesday as well.

Another blaze forced some evacuations in SoCal on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Firefighters were facing steep terrain on Mount Wilson in that incident.

Back up north in Marin County, a vegetation fire was reported Tuesday afternoon near Highway 101.

"Over 34,000 people remain evacuated, but many of the evacuation orders are being reevaluated," Cal Fire officials reported Tuesday. "Residents returning home are urged to be cautious as hazardous conditions may remain."

Fire officials are awaiting possible rain in the northern part of the state this week "bringing relief from the dry conditions."
