As of Monday morning, the French fire had grown to 25,264 acres and was 26% contained.

While the map does not show evacuation routes, the foundation also maintains a spreadsheet with updated evacuation maps in areas that apply. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said police identified a vehicle that Azzarello may have used but were still working to locate it. Authorities spoke with his family, who said they didn’t know he was in New York. CNN showed video of flames engulfing the man’s body as bystanders ran from the rising dark smoke. “He lights himself on fire,” Maddrey said during a news conference Friday afternoon. Maxwell Azzarello, 37, a St. Augustine, Fla., resident who arrived in New York this week, was rushed to the burn unit at New York Presbyterian-Cornell Hospital after the shocking incident.

The fire started at the front of the porch, engulfed the nearby garage and quickly spread upstairs. Azzarrello worked as operations director for the congressional campaign of U.S. Rep. Ami Bera (D-Elk Grove) for about four months in 2014, a representative for the congressman’s office confirmed to The Times. The man who set himself on fire Friday outside the New York City courthouse where former President Trump is on trial died of his extensive injuries, authorities said.

As the map stands, if Trump and Biden win the states leaning in their direction, Trump would need to win 35 electoral votes from the toss ups to get to 270, and Biden would need 44. To this point, the Biden campaign has spent almost nothing in ads on the state and the polling has, to this point, shown Trump well ahead. This year's election is also going to be different from 2020 in a very big way.

A lot of infrastructure and risk management systems are built around assumptions about how these events will play out, so if that changes, those systems become stressed, he said. The study adds to a body of literature documenting how the fingerprints of climate change can be detected in events such as heat waves, droughts and wildfires. The Coastal Fire burned nearly 200 acres after it started early Wednesday afternoon in Aliso Woods Canyon.
