Over 10,000 Firefighters Battle California Fires

Over 10,000 firefighters continue to battle 9 large fires in California. Good progress is being made on several fronts.

Weather conditions in California continue to lead to high fire danger. Temperatures across the state will remain hot, with a slight cooling trend likely. However gusty winds in parts of Northern California later in the week could increase the fire risk. Isolated rain is expected over the next day in Southern California, but it will be followed by triple digit heat by the end of the week. 

As drought conditions continue to have a strong hold on California, bark beetle attacks are killing millions of trees in California’s forests. While bark beetles are mainly native, during drought conditions all trees are susceptible to their attacks. It’s estimated that 25 million trees have died due to the drought including those killed by bark beetle. CAL FIRE is asking residents in areas impacted by tree mortality to ensure they have removed dead trees from around their homes.
