There have been many fires burning down the state of California. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, there have been thousands of buildings crushed with several fatalities. All this damage has spread across the Golden State, for 4 million acres.

The Zogg fire has covered 56,305 acres, the Glass fire covers 63,885, and the August Complex fire covers 985,304 acres, raging as the largest in the state.
