August 16, 2015 - CAL FIRE reports this morning over 14,000 firefighters are battling 18 active wildfires across California. Today will be another hot day across much of California with temperatures again reaching the triple digits in many areas. The Sacramento Valley will once again experience gusty winds of up 25mph, which will not only elevate the fire risk, but will push smoke from the fires burning in Trinity County down into the Sacramento region and Bay Area. The potential for large fire will continue to be elevated across Southern California today as record heat continues along with humidity in the teens.

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.
