Seventeen days after it began laying waste to Northern California, the deadliest wildfire in the state’s recorded history has been fully contained.
The Camp Fire, the deadliest wildfire in California’s recorded history, is now 100 percent contained, the state fire agency announced on Sunday.
Seventeen days after the fire started, firefighters successfully formed a perimeter around the destructive blaze, Cal Fire officials said. Full containment does not mean that a fire is entirely extinguished, but that firefighters have established a line around it.
