Numerous air tankers are also still operating throughout California, providing help where it’s required.
The containment comes after numerous days of rain, which helped to extinguish flames but also generated concerns about landslides and floods.
The rain also made searching for victims more difficult, as looking through debris proved an additional challenge.
