The Camp Fire in California has killed 48 people, become the deadliest wildfire in California history.

As of Tuesday, the Camp Fire was at 201 square miles, which is 1.5 times the size of the city of Detroit, which is 138 square miles of land.

An interactive map from NBC News shows how the Camp Fire would look in your city. When typing in Detroit, it shows how bad the destruction would be.

The fire would go as far north as Troy and Sterling Heights, as far east as Lake St. Clair and St. Clair Shores, as far south as Detroit and Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, and as far west as Redford and parts of Southfield.
