The major fires are still going and flare-ups do occur but they are mostly within containment lines. Its not predicted for the next few days but if they get a wind change back to the north, it could hit the fan again. We have firefighter from other states, New Zealand and some coming from the USA on their way so hopefully the extra manpower will do the job.
An article in a newspaper by a pilot of the huge Erickson sky cane chopper said he had fort fires in the USA and around the world and hadn't seen fires as bad as these. I think the house loss is up to 1800+, the death toll hasn't risen for a day or two but is expected to.
