Three wildfires in California claimed more than 1,000 structures including apartment buildings over the weekend, and insurance executives said they expect the losses to be significant.
Firefighters appeared to be getting a break in the weather as they fought to contain blazes that had consumed over 40,000 acres and caused the evacuation of 50,000 people.
While no insured loss estimates have been reported, according to the latest information from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as of Monday morning, the three fires have damaged or destroyed approximately 1,093 structures.
