Washington Post reported, that the Camp Fire covers an area north of state capital Sacramento that is the size of Chicago. As per the firefighters, slightly more than 50 per cent of the fire has been contained.
US President Donald Trump visited fire-damaged areas in Northern and Southern California on Saturday. After the tour, he said that it was "very sad to see, but we're all going to work together".
Even though all three fire outbreaks were considered to be more related to a record drought, high winds and a result of climate change, Trump criticized forest-management decisions that he suggested were at least partly to blame for the disaster.
He also drew wide criticism for a tweet last week while blaming the devastating fires on "gross mismanagement" of California timberlands and threatening to hold back federal funding from the Democrat-led state.
However, the president has provided a reassuring note, stating that "you've got the federal government" at the ready.
