Death toll now 34 (as of a few minutes ago) and 5,700 structures destroyed.

Excerpt:

Firefighters continued to gain control of some fires scorching Northern California on Friday, thanks in part to continued calm winds in some parts of the region. Altogether, the 15 fires have burned more than 212,000 acres and caused at least 33 deaths. Officials expect the death toll to rise as search efforts continue.

The Redwood fire in Mendocino County has burned 34,000 acres and was 10% contained as of Friday. Between the Redwood fire and the 2,500-acre Sulphur fire, about 8,000 people have been evacuated, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The Tubbs fire has consumed at least 2,834 homes and 400,000 square feet of commercial space in the city of Santa Rosa alone, and has burned 34,770 acres overall as of Friday morning. The fire was 25% contained, a jump from the 10% containment gained Thursday night.

Of renewed concern is the Nuns fire in Sonoma County, which was active overnight and merged with the Adobe and Norrbom fires, growing to 44,381 acres and burning at 5% containment, according to Cal Fire.

The massive Atlas fire, threatening Napa and Solano counties, grew to 48,228 acres overnight and was 27% contained as of Friday morning, according to Cal Fire.

Firefighters battling blazes to the south — including the Atlas fire — were told to expect a mild, warm day Friday, but strong winds returning Friday evening through Saturday. Gusts of up to 40 mph along ridges were again forecast.

We see photos and videos of the airplanes dropping the pinkish fire retardant. This is what that fluid looks like after it’s landed on the ground:
