Here Are The 21 Wildfires Currently Burning Across Southern, Northern California
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - The devastating Bobcat Fire in the Angeles National Forest may be close to full containment Friday, but officials say there are another nearly two dozen wildfires still burning throughout California.
CAL FIRE released a snapshot detailing 21 active wildfires up and down the Golden State, including the Bobcat, Apple, and El Dorado fires. All three of those are currently at least 92% contained.
Still, approximately 9,000 firefighters remain on the frontlines of those 21 wildfires, 12 of which remain major incidents, according to CAL FIRE Assistant Deputy Director Daniel Berlant.
On Thursday alone, fire crews were called out to 29 new wildfires, but all were rapidly contained, Berlant said.
Five of the top 20 largest wildfires in California history have occurred in 2020, according to CAL FIRE.
A red flag warning was in effect Friday as gusty winds, low humidity and unseasonably warm temperatures continue throughout the region.
The federal government Thursday denied Gov. Gavin Newsom's request for help, but no reason was given for the decision.
