According to CalFire, nearly 16,500 firefighters are currently combatting 28 major wildfires across California. Since California’s fire activity spiked on August 15, 24 people have died and over 4,200 structures have been destroyed.

Northeastern California is back under Red Flag conditions (when the combination of weather conditions is expected to produce a higher risk of fire danger). Stronger winds and lower humidity are forecasted to cause possible fire conditions. Central and southern California, which are experiencing increasingly warm and dry conditions, are also expected to be under increased fire weather conditions.

In response to these devastating California wildfires, organizations are currently mobilizing efforts to aid efforts and serve those in need. Check out these organizations mobilizing California wildfire relief efforts.
