Property toll from Northern California wildfire grows to 585 homes. The toll of property losses from a deadly Northern California wildfire, the most destructive this year in the western United States, climbed on Tuesday to at least 585 homes.

The Forest Service just had to divert another $250 million to fight wildfires. Top administration officials wrote Congress on Tuesday to urge it–once again–to change the way it budgets for firefighting in light of the disastrous wildfire season in the western United States.

California ‘Firestorm’ Scorched Area Twice the Size of Manhattan in 24 Hours. “It’s a true firestorm—extremely fast moving, generating its own weather conditions, and burning literally everything in its path.”
