California Fire Updates: 95% of all Wildfires in California are Started by Human Activity

CALIFORNIA – Oct. 6, 2020 – More than 16,400 firefighters continue to work towards containment on 23 major wildfires and one extended attack wildfire across the state. Yesterday, firefighters also responded to 35 new wildfires, bringing full containment to all.

Since the beginning of the year, there have been over 8,300 wildfires that have burned well over 4 million acres in California. To date, the total number of fatalities statewide is 31 and over 8,819 structures have been destroyed.

Temperatures will remain warm today across the state and humidity recover remains slow, continuing the increased fire danger. Seasonal and potentially below average temperatures are expected this weekend, with a chance of some precipitation in the portions of the State. This reprieve in decreased fire weather potential is short-lived, as a warming and drying pattern is expected to return early next week.

Did you know that 95% of all wildfires in California are started by human activity? This could be campfires, illegal burns, improperly maintained vehicles, and the worst cause, arson. A criminal act, arson is a malicious attempt to cause harm by setting a fire. To date this year, CAL FIRE law enforcement has made 72 arrests for arson. If you have any information about an arson fire, you are encouraged to call the hotline at 1-800-468-4408. Callers will remain anonymous.
