Fire officials say they’ve turned a corner in their ability to control the blazes concentrated in Northern California and affecting counties across the state.

“Conditions have drastically changed,” said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, who noted that some of the fires were 50 percent or more contained. “It’s probably a sign we’ve turned a corner on these fires.”
