Wildfire Destruction in Napa

Heroic firefighters and a reprieve from the most intense winds have garnered some hope for an end in what has been deadliest wildfire in California history. The monstrous infernos have killed at least 40 people and burned about 5,700 homes and businesses. 

There are still more than a dozen fires are burning in Northern California, but some residents are being allowed to return home as the mandatory evacuation orders are lifted in areas, including in Napa and Calistoga counties.
