October 7, 2020 - More than 16,500 firefighters continue to work towards containment on 22 major wildfires and one extended attack wildfire across the state. Yesterday, firefighters also responded to 25 new wildfires, bringing full containment to all.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been over 8,300 wildfires that have burned well over 4 million acres in California. To date, the total number of fatalities statewide is 31 and over 8,891 structures have been destroyed.

Warm and dry conditions remain through the region in Northern California for today, keeping fire danger elevated. In Southern California, cooling temperatures and increasing humidity will cause the potential for large fires to decrease today through this weekend. Seasonal and potentially below average temperatures are expected this weekend, with a chance of some precipitation in the portions of the State. The large fire threat will start to increase once again early next week as warm and dry conditions commence.
 
Did you know that 95% of all wildfires in California are started by human activity?  This could be campfires, illegal burns, improperly maintained vehicles, and the worst cause, arson.  A criminal act, arson is a malicious attempt to cause harm by setting a fire. To date this year, CAL FIRE law enforcement has made 72 arrests for arson.  If you have any information about an arson fire, you are encouraged to call the hotline at 1-800-468-4408.  Callers will remain anonymous.
