California Fire Map, Updates As Blazes Burn Area More Than 4 Times the Size of L.A.

More than 14,000 firefighters continue to battle wildfires across California, which have burned in excess of 1.25 million acres of the state. The total acreage burned is over four times larger than the city of Los Angeles, which spans around 299,950 acres.

Cal Fire Deputy Chief Jonathan Cox said at a press briefing Tuesday: "Across California, since August 15, 1.25 million acres of land have burned...that's larger than the state of Delaware."

The department confirmed 136,000 people remain evacuated from their homes and communities. There have been 13,000 lightning strikes, including 233 new strikes, that have caused a total in excess of 650 fires since August 15.

Increased humidity, reduced temperatures and low winds have helped firefighters gain better control of the fires in the past day.

Cal Fire Operations Section Chief Mark Brunton said Tuesday: "The weather's really cooperating with us. We are steadily getting a trickle of resources in, and putting them to work."

Below are some of the latest updates on multiple fires across the state.

SCU Lightning Complex Fire

• Acres: 365,772

• Structures destroyed: 18

The SCU complex fire is spread across three areas, including the Deer Zone (which has seen 100 percent containment) Calaveras Zone and Canyon Zone.

Coastal winds have helped reduce fire intensity in parts of the affected areas, including the San Francisco Bay area and Santa Clara Valley, "allowing for another night of good humidity recovery and cooler overnight lows into the 60s," the Tuesday report from Cal Fire said.

"No significant weather change is expected through Friday, as the marine layer, as returned to the region with consistent onshore winds, seasonable daytime highs, and breezy west wind in the afternoon and evening hours," the report added.

Evacuation orders and warnings remain in place for parts of Santa Clara, Alameda, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced counties. See Cal Fire's full report for details.
