The Valley fire has destroyed at least 720 homes and also destroyed hundreds of other structures that include barns, sheds and other buildings. Berlant said that the four firefighters suffered second-degree burns and are in stable condition at University of California Davis Medical Center.

A third wildfire, known as the Rough fire, has claimed more than 139,000 acres of land, making it the 16th-largest wildfire in the state's history. It was 40-percent contained on Tuesday morning.
