The 282,000-acre Thomas fire started Dec. 4 in Ventura County where it destroyed some 1,000 structures in Santa Paula and Ojai and spread into Carpinteria and Montecito where it burned even more homes.
It is considered the worst wildfire in state history.
As of Jan. 7, when the fire was supposed to be doused, it was still burning in a wilderness area away from populated areas. Rained helped firefighters, but brought the threat of mudslides.
