Fire-frazzled Northern California finally got some good news Sunday: An epic blaze that ravaged the countryside, killed dozens and wiped out thousands of homes was 100% contained.

The Camp Fire - the nation's deadliest in a century - was contained within 153,336 acres, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.

The wildfire, which ignited in a rural area Nov. 8 before consuming the town of Paradise and roaring through nearby communities, has left a staggering toll. At least 85 people have been killed; 249 are still listed as missing. Nearly 19,000 buildings, most of them homes, have been destroyed.

Thousands of people packing emergency shelters, hotels and campsites have lives in limbo, uncertain whether they will have communities to return to. The blaze has destroyed more structures than the state's other seven worst wildfires combined.

More: Death toll raised to 84 in Camp Fire; 475 still missing

More: Plans to get the Camp Fire's displaced families back in homes are barely underway

Fire crews battling the blaze got a key boost last week in the form of the first winter storm to hit the state this year. About 7 inches of rain fell over the burn area for three days without causing major mudslides, said Hannah Chandler-Cooley of the National Weather Service.

The wet weather helped extinguish hot spots and enabled responders to ramp up the search for additional victims, particularly in Paradise, a retirement community with a population of 27,000.

On Sunday, crews continued sifting through muddy ash for human remains in and around the devastated town. Fire officials fear the death toll will climb as evacuees returning home find bodies in the singed-out shells of their homes.

Search crews have pressed on despite the grim task. "The guys will never say it's hard," crew member David Kang said. "But it is."

In Southern California, more residents returned to areas evacuated because of another wildfire as crews repaired power, telephone and gas utilities.

Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said they were in the last phase of repopulating Malibu and unincorporated areas of the county. At the height of the fire, 250,000 fled their homes.

Three people died, and 1,643 buildings, most of them homes, were destroyed, officials said.

The effects it has impacts the economy, government, and inherited property

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The effects of wildfires are numerous and wide-ranging. They can have significant impacts on the economy, environment, heritage and social fabric of rural areas.
On the economy

Economic costs range from direct costs associated with fire fighting, to loss of income from the land following wildfire incidents and damage to property. Landscape-scale damage and loss of specific infrastructure can also impinge on tourism, with a consequence to local businesses and communities. Restoring damaged habitats is also becoming an important component of post-wildfire recovery in sensitive environments, which is typically a very costly and time-consuming process.

On the environment

Apart from the obvious effects of wildfires on upland biodiversity and habitats, they also have a direct impact on benefits that people receive from the environment, including:

Provision of food, water and fibre

Regulation of floods, drought, land degradation and disease

Soil formation and nutrient cycling

Cultural services and recreational benefits

Carbon sequestration and storage

Wildfires directly impact on upland ecosystem services through damage caused to the vegetation, peat and soils, which results in loss of valuable habitat and associated wildlife alongside carbon release. Exposed soil and peat is at increased risk to wind and water erosion, with water run-off from uplands potentially resulting in downstream flooding, sedimentation of water courses and discolouration of drinking water.

On local heritage

Wildfire can cause serious damage to historic environment features. Archaeological remains are often protected by soil and vegetation cover and so the loss of this cover can have severe implications for features. The damage can occur both during a wildfire and due to the erosion caused when sites are exposed.

On local communities

Wildfires create safety issues for those who live and work in isolated areas, as well as endangering people who use and enjoy the countryside. They are also a very real threat to the health and safety of the emergency services.

Most fire-fighters in rural areas are 'retained'. This means that they are part-time and can be called away from their normal work to attend to fires. This can disrupt local businesses.

Wildfire also has the potential to affect the lives of people well outside the immediate area of any incident. Smoke can travel many miles on prevailing winds, affecting air quality and visibility in areas far away. This can have public health implications, especially for people with respiratory problems, as well as causing disruption to traffic.

Witch Creek Fire (2007)

Area burned: 197,990 acres in northern San Diego County.

Damage: Two deaths, 1,650 structures.

Cause: Sparks from a San Diego Gas & Electric power line. The utility reportedly paid out about $2 billion in damages related to that and other fires in 2007.

Day Fire (2006)

Area burned: 162,702 acres in the Los Padres National Forest Ventura County.

Damage: 11 structures.

Cause: Runaway debris burn at campsite. Transient Steven Butcher was sentenced to 45 months in prison.

Bear Fire (2004)

Area burned: 10,484 acres near Redding (Shasta County).

Damage: 110 structures.

Cause: Lawn mower sparked dry grass. Matt Rupp was accused of

ignoring warnings not to mow in hot weather and was sentenced to four years in prison.

Cedar

Fire (2003)

Area burned: 273,246 acres east of San Diego.

Damage: 15 deaths, 2,820 structures.

Cause: Fire set by a lost deer hunter. Sergio Martinez pleaded guilty and served six months in a halfway house.

Fountain Fire (1992)
