The fire has been called the state&#8217;s deadliest fire on record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">An estimated 153,000 acres and 14,000 homes have been scorched in the fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Roughly 1,600 firefighters have been working to contain the flames with dozers and helicopters. Brigitte Foster, fire prevention officer for Lassen National Forest, told the newspaper that crews are being allowed to go home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cOur camp is definitely half the size that it\u2019s been,\u201d she said. \u201cYesterday we were sending a lot of resources home, so that makes it nice, to be home with their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The firefighters were aided by heavy rainfall on Friday, but the rain triggered the National Weather Service to issue a flash flood watch, warning that ash and debris\u00a0could begin\u00a0to flow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThe concerns have been the high winds and trees blowing and the possibility of some mudslides,\u201d Foster said. \u201cBut there hasn\u2019t been a constant downpour where it\u2019s going to cause flooding or mudslides as of right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Authorities are now beginning\u00a0to\u00a0remove the ash and toxic debris, which they can do at no cost to the owner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Eric Lamoureux of the Governor\u2019s Office of Emergency Services told the newspaper that roughly 80 percent of homeowners give permission for the government to cleanup, while the rest choose to do it themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Camp fire was one of three major wildfires that\u00a0devastate\u00a0the state this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California\u2019s deadly Camp fire reached 95&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s-a"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12234"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12235,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12234\/revisions\/12235"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12234"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
