Strong winds are expected across much of the most northern counties, northeastern California and the Northern Sierra. These winds will elevate the fire danger. A Red Flag Warning remains in effect for parts of Siskiyou and Trinity counties starting due to gusty winds and low humidity.
Yesterday, CAL FIRE announced that it had arrested an individual for arson in Lake County. This was the fifth arrest CAL FIRE officers have made in just the past two weeks. Residents should be vigilant in their preparedness and aware of suspicious persons when a fire does start. Suspicious activity should be reported including the time, individual’s physical description, and a vehicle description, including the license plate number. Always contact law enforcement, never approach a suspicious person. Anyone with information about arson is urged to contact the CAL FIRE Arson Hotline at 1-800-468-4408. Callers can remain anonymous.
