Ten structures — including four homes — have been destroyed by a wildfire sweeping through central Oregon as thousands of homes in the state and in Northern California wine country remained under evacuation orders Monday.

As of Sunday night, hundreds of other buildings in Oregon's Deschutes County had survived the Flat Fire blaze as firefighting crews battled wildfires in dry, hot weather there and in California.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of homes and personal property and extend our sympathy to those affected,” Deschutes County Sheriff Ty Rupert said in a Facebook post. “We are also encouraged that hundreds of homes have been protected thanks to aggressive firefighting efforts and the proactive work of property owners to reduce fuels around their homes.”
