Cal Fire stated that over 110,000 lightning strikes during the month of August sparked 534 lightning-caused wildfires—yet only 5 (1%) grew beyond 10 acres. CAL FIRE continues to meet its goal of containing 95% of fires to 10 acres or less.
We are currently seeing increased fire activity due to the lightning activity seen over the last few days, and conditions remain critical. Please stay prepared, stay aware, and have a plan in case a wildfire threatens your community.
Our crews continue to work tirelessly across the state to protect the communities we serve.
