Napa County officials in the span of two days have declared local emergencies in response to the Pickett Fire, one of which frees up resources to help tackle the roaring blaze.

The declaration allows the county to utilize state and federal resources for emergency response, recovery, damage mitigation and reimbursement for extra costs due to the wildfire.

The Pickett Fire in California's Napa County has burned 6,803 acres as of Sunday morning, making it the largest fire in the Bay Area since last year.
