SANTA ROSA, Calif. — State officials announced Friday that the wildfires across Northern California have destroyed at least 5,700 buildings. An analysis by The New York Times using satellite images in combination with its own ground surveys found that one fire in particular incinerated at least 5,100 structures, which would make it the most destructive wildfire in the state’s history.

The inferno, known as the Tubbs fire, began Sunday, Oct. 8, and, as of Friday morning, was not expected to be fully contained until next Friday, Oct. 20. The homes and structures that it destroyed are shown in red in the map below.

About 2,800 buildings in Santa Rosa were destroyed. The Coffey Park neighborhood and Fountaingrove area were among the hardest hit.

There was another concentration of incinerated homes in the Larkfield-Wikiup area, about a mile north of the city, where about 500 buildings were destroyed.

A ground survey of the neighborhood found almost no homes that sustained partial damage. The homes were either seemingly untouched or completely burned to the ground.

Fire officials are going “foundation by foundation” to document each damaged structure, so it will take at least another week until a fuller count will be available, a Cal Fire official said.
