Winds and temperatures were expected to increase slightly amid a drop in humidity, officials said in an update early Monday.
Firefighters made progress and were aided by improving weather over the weekend in the battle against wildfires covering massive areas and leaving a trail of damage in the western United States, but further evacuations and resources have been necessary as thousands of personnel tackle the flames.The so-called Park Fire, the largest wildfire in California this year, was one of more than 100 blazes burning in the U.S. on Sunday, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
The husks of a washer and dryer set were surrounded by burned debris and a charred motorcycle was propped upright, balancing on rims after its tires apparently melted away.Another part of Cohasset was relatively unscathed, said Garrett Sjolund, the Butte County fire chief."We have an unburned island in that community that we are continuing to patrol and ensure that there are no hot spots in it," Sjolund said.Managing evacuation orders in the area has been complex.
