The arson-caused wildfire, which began July 24, had destroyed 636 structures as of Tuesday and damaged an additional 49, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire).

Footage taken from Colby Mountain shows smoke billowing from the fire, which was 34 percent contained on Tuesday.
