KTVU has some live video, it does appear a few structures and multiple vehicles have been destroyed. The fire looks to be burning in light grass in fields in between roads. Fairly rural looking area. Additionally, it looks like they just about have forward progresss stopped on all but 1 fire.

Four different fires showing on ABC coverage. Barely any smoke left. Looks like it got a structure and some trailers on the southernmost fire and a barn and fence on the northernmost.

Some dozers are cleaning some line up, most of the smoke is mainly coming from the structures with high winds still on them.
AA is releasing tankers and copters back to bases.
