Parts of California have been consumed by wildfires in recent weeks, and blazes making up the Mendocino Complex Fire have grown to be larger than the Carr Fire that dominated last week's headlines.

Several large wildfires are burning throughout California and the largest is the Carr Fire which is so unpredictable, authorities say they've been issuing evacuation orders pretty liberally.

The Northern California wildfires killed at least 40 people and forced some 75,000 to evacuate. But Napa officials say firefighters have made enough progress for the county to switch to recovery mode.
