August 15, 2015 - CAL FIRE reports this morning 17 active wildfires continue to burn in California, with over 13,000 firefighters on the frontlines. Yesterday crews were able to fully contain the largest wildfire of the year, the Rocky Fire, which burned just under 70,000 acres.

Temperatures this weekend are on the rise, which combined with gusty north winds in the Sacramento Valley will elevated the fire risk.  Wind speeds are expected between 8-18 mph with gusts to around 25 mph. In Southern California record heat is expected.

This weekend CAL FIRE is again urging the public to careful with outdoor activities. Whether it’s camping, barbequing, or off-road driving, conditions are ripe for a simple spark to ignite a wildfire. One Less Spark means One Less Wildfire. Learn more at www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
