California Statewide Fire Summary
Sunday, August 16, 2015
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.
