After avoiding a repeat lightning storm, fire crews received more fortuitous weather conditions Monday night into Tuesday morning as they began to get a handle on the trio of historic blazes burning around the Bay Area.

Since they broke out a week ago, the three fires have combined to burn nearly 800,000 acres, destroy more than 1,000 structures and force tens of thousands to flee. Fire crews have recovered six bodies, with more people reported missing. Two of the blazes already rank as the second- and third-largest in state history.
