Calif. Fire Summary, Map: 15 Dead As 115,000+ Acres Burn In 17 Major Blazes Are Sparked In 1 Day

California saw a state of emergency take hold on Monday, with more than a dozen large wildfires burning on both ends of the Golden State — tragically claiming the lives of at least 15 people in the process, state fire officials reported Tuesday. We know of more than 1,500 homes and structures that have been destroyed by the blazes, with a final tally expected to increase that number once additional assessments can be done. These devastating fires have scorched a combined total of more than 115,000 acres in their path in the last day alone.

All of the deaths have been reported as a result of the Northern California firestorm. The confirmed deaths include nine in Sonoma County, two in Napa County and one in each of Mendocino and Yuba counties, according to law enforcement and fire officials. More are feared dead.

As of a Tuesday morning update from Cal Fire, crews were still facing strong winds and dry conditions to challenge their firefighting efforts. However, some of the strongest winds have "decreased significantly."

For a snapshot at the current fire situation across the state, you can catch the full California Statewide Fire Summary for Tuesday, Oct. 10 below. (Scroll down for a map of current fires and details on the major incidents):

17 large wildfires that started in the past 24 hours continue to burn across California and have burned over 115,000 acres. The winds that fanned these fires Sunday night and Monday morning have decreased significantly, but local winds and dry conditions continue to pose a challenge. With the decrease in the winds combined with cooler weather, firefighters made good progress overnight. Sheriff officials have confirmed that 11 people have died as a result of the wildfires in Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa and Yuba counties.

These fires have already burned an estimated 1,500 homes and commercial structures. Several Damage Assessment Teams have been deployed to get a full account of the destruction.

Yesterday Governor Brown declared a State of Emergency in Napa, Sonoma, and Yuba Counties, as well as a State of Emergency in Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Nevada and Orange counties.

Red Flag Warnings in Southern California due to gusty winds and high fire risk remain in place, but are expected to end later this morning. The warnings in Northern California have all ended, but breezy and dry conditions remain.

Historically, October is when California experiences its largest and most damaging wildfires. Residents are asked to remain prepared for wildfires. Learn more evacuation tips by visiting www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
