California’s governor declared a statewide emergency on Sunday as wildfires fueled by high winds continue to ravage parts of the state and millions are left without power because of planned power shutoffs.
The California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection, or CalFire, reported 162,693 acres burned, 405 structures damaged or destroyed, and three fatalities as of Sunday.
The Kincade Fire in Sonoma County, the largest of the fires burning in the state, has spread to more than 54,000 acres. Only 5% of this fire has been contained. Early Sunday, the Kincade Fire had only spread to 30,000 acres, with 10% considered contained.
