California's largest fire, the Kincade fire in Sonoma County’s wine country, was 78% contained late on Sunday, according to a fire department update
- Winds that have fanned California’s wildfires have calmed, helping firefighters contain blazes that have destroyed homes and forced mass power outages since late last month.
“The winds have calmed down and this is nothing but good news,” he said. “It remains extremely dry to so more spreading is possible, but there are no elevated fire concerns.” Firefighters working overnight into Monday to contain a Southern California wildfire made significant headway, containing 70% of the blaze with the aid of cooler weather and lighter winds after it burned thousands of acres of dry brush and farmland.
Evacuation orders in Ventura County were lifted on Saturday, when the fire department said the blaze was 20% contained. More than 10,000 residents had previously been told to evacuate at the peak of the fire’s rapid spread.
