The National Weather Service cautioned residents to "Stay aware of your surroundings. Be ready to evacuate. Avoid anything that can spark a fire" as winds exacerbate fire risks.
Fire Chief Marrone indicated that if winds reached 70 mph, it would significantly hinder firefighting efforts, creating a challenging situation for containment.
Weary firefighters are receiving support from Canada, Mexico, and other states, underscoring the scale of the response needed to combat these deadly fires.
Sonja Jackson described the chaos of evacuation, stating, "We all left with the clothes on our back. We thought we'd be able to come back in the morning."
