The fire grew slightly overnight and has chewed through 151,000 acres in Butte County. The blaze, which is the state's deadliest wildfire, has claimed at least 77 lives and destroyed 15,850 structures. More than 11,000 of those buildings were homes.

Fire officials expect the blaze to be fully contained on Nov. 30.
