Firefighters report that the wildfires are 100% contained now, thanks mostly to hard work by many people. As threatening as the firestorm was to homes and lives, not one person was killed or injured in the blazes. Though affected homes runs in the dozens, no golf courses sustained anything more than scorched rough areas and bridges, and life is moving back to normal now.
