Current Situation: Last night firefighters continued tactical patrols and responded to public calls for service. Strong winds overnight contributed to active fire behavior with interior flare ups. Today, minimal fire growth is expected with continued smoldering and creeping. Burned structures and heavy fuels will continue to hold heat. In addition to perimeter control, crews will work to mitigate hazard trees along roadways to provide safety for firefighters and the public. 

Damage Assessment: Aerial imagery overlays show approximately 7,081 structures may have been damaged or destroyed. The number of structures damaged and destroyed listed at the top of the page are verified by damage inspection teams and will be updated with validated information as it becomes available.
