LIVERMORE, Calif. - The SCU Lightning Complex Fire racing across five counties gobbled up a bit more earth overnight, but overall remained about the same size.

On Tuesday, Cal Fire reported that blazes had scorched 365,772 acres of earth, up just slightly from the day before, and the fires were 20% contained, the same percentage as Monday.

The complex of fires, burning in Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties, is now the largest fire burning in California.

Statewide, since the wildfires began raging last weekend, Cal Fire crews said they have battled more than 625 new wildfires, which have now burned over 1.4 million acres throughout the state.

To put that into perspective, that's just about 1% of California's landmass, which equals about one million football fields or 1,875 square miles.

More than 1,000 structures have been either destroyed or damaged and 30,500 structures remained threatened. To date, seven people have died

Compared to 2019, 4,292 fires burned 56,000 acres compared to more than 7,002 fires that burned 1.4 million acres to date. That's 25 times as many acres, and the fire season this year is not yet over.
