Today, nearly 13,000 firefighters are on the lines of 16 large wildfires burning across California. To date, these fires have burned over 320,000 acres and damaged or destroyed over 1,600 structures. 17,000 homes continue to be threatened by these fires, and more than 32,000 residents have been evacuated. The Carr Fire is now the 6th most destructive fire in state history surpassing the 2017 Nuns Fire in Sonoma County. California has received resources from over 16 states.

Cooling temperatures will bring some relief, but winds will increase fire danger in several areas of California. In Northern California, humidity will continue to remain in the single digits with little to no overnight recovery. Winds may pick up today increasing to 20-30 mph. Southern California could see rain in the Riverside and San Diego areas, but temperatures will continue to reach 90 and even triple digits. Humidity will be low in many areas of Southern California reaching as low as 8 to 15% in the afternoons.

You’ve taken steps to keep your family and home fire safe. Don’t forget your pets and livestock. With some advanced planning, you can increase their chances of surviving a wildland fire. Plan for both your small and large pets by visiting our animal evacuation webpage, click here.
