The River and Ranch fires, known collectively as the Mendocino Complex, have grown to cover about 299,000 acres of land north of San Francisco as of Saturday evening. More than 20,000 residents in Mendocino, Lake and Colusa counties have been ordered to evacuate as firefighters continue to battle the out-of-control blaze.

Through last week, California fires had torched about 290,000 acres (117,300 hectares), more than double the five-year average over that same period, according to Cal Fire.
The Mendocino Complex fires cover an area 71 percent of the size of Los Angeles. They have forced the evacuation of more than 20,000 residents and destroyed more than 100 structures. :(
