California wildfires devour the equivalent of Delaware; vary in size and devastation

Cal Fire crews have now been working for 12 consecutive days, battling more than 700 blazes, which have burned more than 1 million acres, or about 1% of the Golden State's overall landmass.

That's roughly the size of the state of Delaware.
