Are people hiding in their homes or something?

Partly. Several got stuck in cars trying to leave. To understand how deaths happen, you really have to experience the Santa Ana winds at their worst. They can move a fire faster than you can run.

Dude, there's only been about 18 outta over 2000 burned down houses! Not bad! Really, not bad at all!

I'm with you there! The Santa Ana winds are bad, and makes the fires worse and they spread easlier!

If you ever been in such a massive fire,you would know how fast it travels.It consumes all the air quickly and the smoke chokes you.Matter of seconds really to escape.I don't think those people knew the force of it.

Was there traffic or something?

I'm not even going to start trying to explain to you! And further more - there's not many deaths!

There were some pretty serious fires here during the summer, local news interviewed this guy who almost got killed trying to save stuff out of his house, I cant remember what he said exactly, but it was something like, "I looked out the door and it was down the block, so I ran inside and started grabbing more sentimental stuff. Spent no more than 30 seconds... Ran out to my car and loaded it in my trunk, turned around and there was a wall of fire in my face".

Wind can be a bitch.

They were trying to leave too late, got trapped by the rapidly advancing flames and engulfed.
