California’s July 23 emergency proclamation reported evacuation of more than 3,000 residents and a threat to about 2,000 homes and other structures. Those figures describe the early Oak Fire in Mariposa County, not final building losses.

People evacuated versus properties threatened at Midpines
The unit matters: people, threatened structures and destroyed structures are three different measures. It would be meaningless to divide one by the other to estimate the percentage of homes lost. The Midpines location also distinguishes this case from other state listings called Oak Fire.
