Some 12,000 firefighters are battling 560 active blazes across California, especially some two dozens of mega-fires in Northern California, Governor Gavin Newsom said on Friday, reported Xinhua.

The CZU Complex fire raging through San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties is 50,000 acres (about 202 square kilometers) and has displaced about 64,600 people, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL Fire) officials said Friday morning.

With one big fire burning a mile north of the University of California, Santa Cruz, the school has evacuated about 1,200 people as its Chancellor Cynthia Larive issued an emergency declaration, ordering all students living on campus and employees to leave.

Four people have been killed from LNU Lightning Complex which is some 219,000 acres (886 square kilometers) with 7 percent containment as of Friday.

Three people were found dead at a burned home in Napa County on Wednesday, a spokesman for the Napa County Sheriff's Office confirmed Thursday night after officials recovered their remains.

The fourth victim of the LNU Lightning Complex died in Solano County, according to a report of the San Francisco Chronicle.
