Sacramento, CA…Over 4,600 firefighters continue to battle 22 wildfires in California. Yesterday, firefighters responded to 37 new wildfires, all of which were quickly contained. As favorable weather remains, firefighters are gaining the upper hand on these fires with containment numbers increasing.

California will be under the influence of a strong high pressure system, with continued warm and very dry conditions. Locally breezy today through Thursday. Maximum temperatures will be 5 to 15 degrees above normal away from the coastal areas, and low humidity. Winds will generally be light with gusts up 35 mph in some mountain areas. Warm and dry weather will keep fire danger heightened.

With Daylight Saving Time ending early this morning, CAL FIRE reminds all Californians when they change their clocks, to test their smoke alarms. New smoke alarms have a 10-year battery that don’t need to be replaced annual, while older smoke alarms that use disposable batteries should have them replaced today.
