October 17, 2020 - Today Over 8,000 firefighters remain on the frontlines of 20 wildfires across the state, 12 of which remain major Cal fireincidents.  Yesterday, firefighters across the State responded to 38 new wildfires, and despite Red Flag Warning conditions in many areas, all were quickly contained.

A Red Flag Warning for critical fire weather continues today in much of the North State for gusty winds and low humidity.  Warm and dry conditions persist throughout the State, continuing the elevated fire threat.  Temperatures are expected to cool slightly with some humidity increase over the next couple of days, but conditions will generally remain dry with no precipitation forecast for the next week.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been over 8,500 wildfires that have burned well over 4.1 million acres in California. To date, the total number of fatalities statewide is 31 and more than 9,200 structures have been destroyed.
 
California historically experiences some of the most devastating wildfires in the months of September and October. Do not let your guard down! To learn more ways to prevent sparking a wildfire visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
