The fire has destroyed at least 80 homes, Cal Fire said Tuesday morning — 52 in Napa County and 28 in Sonoma County, according to the agency. The totals could grow substantially as damage is further assessed.
The gusty winds that fueled the fire’s intense growth Sunday and Monday have subsided, but Cal Fire’s incident reports note that “very minimal humidity recovery” and above-average temperatures in the area are continuing to create a challenge in containing the blaze.
