More than 2,000 people have been evacuated near Santa Barbara as the flames destroyed dozens of buildings. Across the West, nearly 60 fires blaze across 13 states.
Temperatures were still hot, winds remained fierce, and terrain was making firefighting tricky across much of Northern California on Sunday.
Straddling the California-Oregon border, the Klamathon Fire grew by almost 40 percent overnight. It's the first California wildfire to kill a civilian since last December.
The topography near the County Fire continued to give fire crews trouble, but the largest blaze of the season hadn't grown significantly in a few days. The Pawnee Fire was 96 percent contained as of Sunday morning.
