As of now, at least 16,000 homes are under threat by these blazes and tens of thousands of people remain under evacuation orders.

Dixie Fire
No fatalities have been reported from the fires so far as fire crews successfully contained 35% of the Dixie Fire which started last month and evacuation orders were lifted in some counties, allowing people to see their homes after weeks.
