According to Cal Fire, 12 637 houses, 483 enterprises and 3718 sheds and other buildings were burned down during a fire. A total of 17 148 buildings - more than three times the losses from Tubbs Fire last fall in Napa and Sonoma.

Others simply looked through the windows of their homes and saw smoke and flames or heard the cry of the neighbors' children, whose parents, gathering animals, tried to escape from danger. The authorities almost did not notify residents about the approaching deadly firesurvivors reported.
The cause of the fire is still being identified, but suspicion fell on the utility company PG&E, which admitted that it had problems with equipment in the area of the fire at about the same time it started.
