Latest developments in the North Bay fires:
6 a.m. Death toll rises to 11: One person died early Monday morning trying to flee the Cascade Fire in Yuba County, county spokesman Russ Brown confirmed Tuesday.
The person, whose name was not immediately released, was in a vehicle fleeing from the town of Loma Rica, ran off a back-road and became trapped in the fire, Brown said.
Northern California fires have now killed 11 people, including seven in Sonoma County, two in Napa County and one in Mendocino County.
The Cascade fire is one of at least eight blazes burning in Northern California. It has consumed 8,200 acres and was only 10 percent contained Tuesday morning.
5 a.m. Cooler temperatures, but fires rage: Cool overnight temperatures aided firefighters battling blazes in Napa and Sonoma counties, but the fires continued to rage out of control Tuesday morning.
High temperatures in the North Bay are forecast to be in the mid 70s to upper 70s, generally 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Monday, said Charles Bell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
