California Statewide Fire Summary for Wednesday, September 14, 2022 

September 14, 2022 - As of this morning, there are 8,320 firefighters making progress on 10 major wildfires and three extended attack wildfires in California. Yesterday, firefighters also responded to 38 new initial attack wildfires across the state and achieved full containment on one major fire.

Since the beginning of the year, 345,222 acres have burned in California. While firefighters continue battling the current major wildfires, CAL FIRE and fire departments across the state remain prepared for potential more significant wildfires.

Northern California may experience a slight chance of a shower today, primarily across Siskiyou County. Weak troughing through the end of the week continues to bring as much as 8 degrees below normal temperatures. Additionally, the region will experience areas of breeziness today with W-SW-S winds, and then more NW-W-SW tomorrow with peak gusts 20-30 mph favoring Greater Bay Area, Coastal Range, and northern/eastern areas. Southern California will observe a quiet weather pattern bringing about an onshore flow. Temperatures will trend downward the next few days with locally breezy weather returning to the deserts. Temperatures today will be in the lower to mid-80s.

Despite the present cooling trend, September continues to be a prime month for wildfires. Do you have a plan for all your family should a wildfire strike near you? Don’t forget anyone, including your four-legged family members! Have a plan in place for your pets and have a go bag ready for them to keep with yours.
