The latest California wildfire, burning about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, was just 10% contained on Saturday. Meanwhile, homeowners who felt lucky their homes didn't burn to the ground are in for a surprise.

Madera

A large wildfire in San Luis Obispo County, California, has burned almost 80,000 acres and is only 10% contained, making it the state's largest wildfire this year. While some homeowners' properties were spared from the flames, many are dealing with severe smoke and toxic ash damage, which has rendered their homes unsafe.

Affected residents are struggling with insurance companies over coverage for cleanup and repairs. In response to hundreds of complaints, California's insurance commissioner has established a task force to create standards for insurance coverage of smoke damage, aiming to ensure families can safely return home. However, some victims remain concerned that these new measures may not address their immediate needs.

California's largest wildfire this year burns uncontained

Turning now to the latest California wildfire in San Luis Obispo County, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, is still just 10% contained. The fire has scorched nearly 80,000 acres, far surpassing January's L.A. fires. Meanwhile, homeowners who felt lucky that their homes didn't burn to the ground are in for a surprise. CBS's Elise Preston has been looking into this and has more. Elise. Dorica, not all wildfire victims lost their homes. Flames skipped over hundreds of properties like this one, but left a dangerous trail of smoke damage. Now, six months after the fires, some families are still struggling to get back home. We've moved seven times and then our insurance company won't approve anything for more than 30 days. Michelle Mapp's home is still standing, but smoke from January's deadly Eaton fire clings to the walls, floors, and furniture. The house tested positive for lead, and the family can't return home because it's not safe. It's just hard. It's hard on my family, you know, and we don't know what's happening. Many victims whose homes are suffering from smoke and toxic ash in the Eaton and Palisades fire zones are battling with their insurance companies to pay for cleanup and repairs. Ricardo Lara is California's insurance commissioner. Some of them even tell me, I almost hope that I've lost my home in the fire. That's easier to deal with than to go back and forth with the insurance company. After receiving hundreds of complaints from frustrated policyholders, this week, Lara created a task force to establish insurance standards for families to safely return home. That means insurance companies will have to cover the expenses of the cleanup. There's been a lack of consistent public health standards for smoke damage that has led to a lot of confusion, a lot of delays, and uneven treatment of homeowners. Mapp is cautiously optimistic about the task force. That doesn't help us. I'm happy for anybody in the next fire, but that doesn't necessarily help the people here. You just want to get home. We do. We just want to get home. Now, Commissioner Lara hopes California's move will help establish standards nationwide. Jerica, Elise Preston and Altadena, thank you.
