California Statewide Fire Summary
Monday, October 16, 2017
11,000 firefighters continued to make good progress on 14 large wildfires burning
across the State, despite the fact that several new fires ignited. On the current 14
large wildfires over 213,000 acres have burned, an estimated 5,700 structures
destroyed and sadly 41 people have been killed. This morning, a private water
tender driver assigned to the Nuns Fire tragically died in a vehicle rollover on
Oakville Grade in Napa County.
As containment figures have increased, many of the evacuations across the fires in
Northern California have been lifted. Over 40,000 people remain evacuated, but
many of the evacuation orders are being reevaluated. Residents returning home are
urged to be cautious as hazardous conditions may remain. Learn more tips on how
to return home after a wildfire at www.fire.ca.gov.
The weather today is expected to be hot and with low humidity, which will continue to
challenge firefighters, but only light winds are forecast. All Red Flag Warnings have
been lifted.
