The largest of the lightning-sparked conflagrations in the Bay Area, which is once again the LNU Lightning Complex fires by about 200 acres, saw containment rise to 33 percent overnight, and one entire zone of the SCU Lightning Complex has been declared fully contained.

Containment on the three major wildfire complexes around the Bay grew overnight on Tuesday, and evacuation orders began to be lifted in parts of the North Bay that either burned last week or were largely spared.

The history of wildfires in both recent and less recent California memory is dotted with truly tragic events like the 2018 Camp Fire, as well as incomprehensibly large and destructive events that were not necessarily as tragic because few homes or people were lost to them.

With evacuation orders heaping and refugees now hunkered down inside hotel rooms, the Bay Area's reeling from yet another devastating spell of forest fires. And unfortunately: helping the victims and firefighters amid the pandemic is a less clear-cut action than one might think.
