California's biggest, most ruinous wildfire this year is declared fully contained two weeks after erupting

A horse statue is silhouetted by a burning structure during the wind-driven Kincade Fire in Windsor, California, US on October 27, 2019.

The tally of more than 400 structures damaged or destroyed in the Kincade fire also represents over half the property losses from all California wildfires this year, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire. "We had a great winter, in terms of rainfall, with a really good snow pack, and no winds to speak of for most of the year," Cal Fire spokesman Scott McLean said.

Governor Gavin Newsom also allocated extra money to pre-stage firefighting strike teams and equipment in strategic spots, allowing local authorities to respond to fires more swiftly, McLean said.
