Is there any new news on the fires?
 
As of 10 hours ago, weather changed to something more favourable to fighting fires. There's a chance at getting it back in control now. There were two fatalities during the evacuation due to a vehicular accident: A 15 year old and 19 year old were killed. Re-entry teams are moving in tomorrow (or later today depending on your time zone) to inspect the damage to the town and see what can be salvaged. Emphasis is being put on preserving and saving emergency structures like hospitals, residential sector is essentially at this point still on a "hope and pray" basis.

EDIT

It is, however, still sitting at over 1,200 square kilometers in size.
 
Currently writing a presentation about this topic, and this thread is a great help!

Qould just like to express my sorrow over those the fires have affected.
 
I have a feeling that if the fatalities included pets it'd be much higher. :/

True x.x I was thinking about all the animals, domesticated and wild that were affected. So sad. :(
