01:36 California Man Has Video of His Home Burning in Wildfire A California man has video of his home burning in the North Creek Complex Fire.

At a Glance With 35 confirmed deaths in Northern California, this has been the deadliest week of wildfires in state history.

Officials say roughly 5,700 homes and businesses have been destroyed and nearly 400 people are still missing.

At least 9,000 firefighters are working to control these blazes.

At least 35 people have died in what has been the deadliest week of wildfires in California history, and officials warned the toll could climb.

The scale of the disaster also became clearer Friday as authorities said the fires had chased an estimated 90,000 people from their homes and destroyed at least 5,700 homes and businesses, the Associated Press is reporting.

But a fifth day of desperate firefighting brought a glimmer of hope as crews battling the flames reported their first progress toward containing the massive blazes.

"The emergency is not over, and we continue to work at it, but we are seeing some great progress," said the state's emergency operations director, Mark Ghilarducci.

Over the past 24 hours, crews arrived from Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, North and South Carolina, Oregon and Arizona. Other teams came from as far away as Canada and Australia.

The Northern California infernos have killed more people than any single fire in state history, the AP reported. Officials originally cited the 1991 Oakland Hills fire as the deadliest single fire in California history, but it was actually the 1933 Griffith Park fire, which killed 29 people, that was the deadliest.

Officials searching were searching burned areas of Sonoma and Napa counties with cadaver dogs Thursday night when they recovered more bodies, said Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano.

It's a forbidding process. In some cases, serial numbers on medical implants have been used to identify remains, the Associated Press reported.

"We have found bodies almost completely intact, and we have found bodies that were nothing more than ash and bones," Giordano said.

With hundreds of people still missing, Giordano said more victims are likely.

The Sonoma County Coroner's Office provided a list of the deceased whose next of kin have been notified:

In Santa Rosa, thousands of structures were destroyed, from mansions to middle-income homes to trailer parks.

"The fire did not discriminate ," Santa Rosa mayor Chris Coursey told the Los Angeles Times.

Several deadly wildfires were sparked at virtually the same time, most of which started in the region's wine country, on Sunday night. The counties of Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Yuba, Nevada, Butte and Orange have been affected.

The AP reported that some of the state's sites most popular with tourists, Sonoma and Calistoga in Napa Valley, were "ghost towns populated only by fire crews trying to stop the advancing infernos."

Nearly 400 people are still missing in Sonoma County as firefighters battle the 54-square-mile Tubbs fire. The blaze is just one of 17 wildfires burning through California, fueled by the return of strong winds. As of Friday morning, it was 25 percent contained , according to Cal Fire.

"Make no mistake, this is a serious, critical, catastrophic event," said Ken Pimlott, chief of the department.

The largest of the Northern California fires, the Atlas fire, is burning in Napa and Solano counties. It grew rapidly again overnight Thursday and has burned at least 75 square miles , Cal Fire said, but containment also grew from 3 percent Thursday to 27 percent Friday morning.

The series of fires is already among the worst in California history, and Pimlott says the situation is "going to continue to get worse before it gets better."

Firefighters can't expect much help from the weather, as conditions are expected to remain windy through the weekend, said weather.com meteorologist Linda Lam.

Crews have made little headway on the fires, which turned entire Northern California neighborhoods to ash and have left at least 180 people injured.

More than 9,000 firefighters and other personnel were battling the blazes and more resources were pouring in from Oregon, Nevada, Washington and Arizona.

"There was no wind, then there would be a rush of wind and it would stop," resident Ken Moholt-Siebert told the L.A. Times. "Then there would be another gust from a different direction. The flames wrapped around us. I was just being pelted with all this smoke and embers. It was just really fast."

The L.A. Times said entire blocks in the Fountaingrove area of Santa Rosa were leveled by the conflagration, and the city’s new fire station, Fire Station 5, was destroyed. The fire also burned Santa Rosa’s historic round barn, the city's K-mart, the Santa Rosa Hilton Sonoma Hotel and destroyed homes at the Journey's End Mobile Home Park.

"It’s real bad," Cal Fire Battalion Chief Marshall Tuberville told the L.A. Times. "This is an example of nature in control, and we are doing what we can, but we’re not being that effective at stopping the fire."

Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the fires but said it may be weeks before the origins are determined. California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokeswoman Janet Upton told the Associated Press downed power lines could to blame for starting some or all of these blazes, or they might have been sparked some other way.
