California Statewide Fire Summary Friday, August 28, 2015

7/27/2015

1 Comment

 
Over 7,700 firefighters are battling 15 active wildfires across California. Warmer weather over the past couple of days has hampered containment efforts, although firefighters continue to make progress on many of these fires.

Warm and dry conditions continue today. While a cooling trend is expected to lower temperatures to normal across the state beginning tomorrow, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for Saturday from the Lake Tahoe region south through Mono County for high winds, increasing fire danger.

CAL FIRE reminds everyone that the best time to complete your defensible space is in the spring when temperatures are cooler and humidity is higher. But if you need clear dry and dead vegetation near your home, make sure you don’t do the right thing the wrong way. For tips on how to be safe with equipment, visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org.
