Part 13/14:
This destructive wildfire has forced thousands of evacuations, destroyed at least seven structures, and jeopardized tens of thousands of homes and businesses. Utility companies have proactively cut power to prevent additional sparks from damaged lines, reflecting lessons learned from past disastrous fire seasons.
Satellite imagery shows firefighting aircraft battling the blaze, while hundreds of firefighters work tirelessly to establish containment lines. As of Wednesday, containment efforts are only at 7%, a modest figure but a hopeful sign of progress. Weather conditions may soon improve, with red flag warnings (indicating severe fire danger) set to expire and potentially ease firefighting efforts.
