Summary
Thirty-one people have died, and more than 9,200 buildings have been destroyed.Most of the huge fires that erupted over the past eight weeks are now fully or significantly contained but the gains could be hampered if new fires ignite, said Daniel Berlant, assistant deputy director with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as Cal Fire.“If a new fire breaks out, that fire will be able to grow very quickly under these conditions,” Berlant said.PG&E;’s aging equipment has sparked several major fires in recent years, including a 2018 blaze that destroyed much of the town of Paradise and killed 85 people.
