Over 12,500 firefighters remain on the line of 11 large wildfires across California. To date, these fires have consumed more than 740,000 acres and damaged or destroyed over 2,000 structures.
Normal temperatures today remain in place in much of California today; however, later in the week temperatures will start to increase once again, bringing back hot and dry conditions across the state. A potential for isolated thunderstorms remains in the high elevations of eastern California and desert regions.
Until significant fire activity increases, this will be the last Statewide Fire Summary. For the latest on the remaining fires click the links below or visit www.fire.ca.gov, on twitter at @CAL_FIRE or for the US Forest Service, visit http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/state/5/
