Both articles mention the 38 million number, I suspect that is the number of people ordered to evacuate their home while the number who have actually evacuated the area is the three million number.

I've worked emergency communications and 911 dispatch during wildfires and a surprising amount of people don't leave their homes during an evacuation order.
