One of the California fires prompted a rare closure of much of Yosemite National Park last week, while another forced mass evacuations from the mountain resort community of Idyllwild, east of Los Angeles.

But the deadliest and most destructive of the 17 major fires blazing in California is the Carr Fire, which has destroyed more than 650 homes and killed six people, including two firefighters. More than 160 fire departments from California and around the country have been deployed to help quell the week-long blaze.
