As for Northern California, the Camp Fire near Oroville has torched 111,000 acres, killed 42 people and destroyed 6,453 homes as of Sunday evening, reported Cal Fire. The first responders are battling blazes on both ends of the state popularly called as the Town Of Paradise.
At this very moment, three fires - The Woolsey Fire, The Camp Fire and The Hills Fire are blazing across the US state of California. The reason? Dry underbrush, combined with winds and hot temperatures became the perfect breeding ground for fires to ignite. While the exact cause is still unknown, the seasonal Santa Ana winds have been spreading the flames rapidly.

While many celebs are reaching out to help the displaced people, actress Sandra Bullock made a $100,000 donation to The Humane Society of Ventura County, which is in charge of helping the animals affected by the wildfires in Southern California.
"Our efforts for rescuing and caring for evacuated animals from the Hill and Woolsey fires had caught her attention and her team reached out to the shelter to show their support," the organisation wrote on Facebook. "Sandra Bullock and her family have reached out to other nonprofit organisations both during this incident and in the past. However, this time she wanted to contribute to those on the frontline rescuing animals in peril and hope others will choose to do the same."
"The HSVC pledges to care for these animals for as long as is needed or until their owners feel comfortable in safely reuniting their families," the organisation wrote.
