Current CA Fires: 240,000+ Acres Burned By 13 Major Incidents; 7,600 Firefighters On The Lines

California firefighters are in the thick of fire season, battling more than a dozen major incidents across the state as of Friday. Those incidents have burned a combined total of more than 244,000 acres, the state's lead firefighting agency reports.

One of the biggest blazes of them all, the Detwiler Fire, continues to rage on near Yosemite. That inferno has burned through more than 74,000 acres alone, taking out 58 residences and 60 other structures in the process, according to Cal Fire. Another 1,500 structures are threatened, and containment is only estimated at 15 percent.

However, while firefighters are still working to get the upper hand on some incidents, they have made significant progress on others.

"Crews hard work has resulted in gaining the upper hand on five blazes, the Humboldt, Creek, Range, Hogback and Fox fires, bringing them to full containment yesterday," Cal Fire said.

A warm-up has begun, bringing afternoon highs this weekend in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley to over 100 in many areas, with the foothill regions experiencing temperatures in the upper 90s. Additionally, humidity in many parts will drop into the teens. Southern California will remain warm, and there is a potential for local north winds of 10-20 mph over portions of Santa Barbara County.

Did you know that embers from a wildfire can travel up to a mile away from the main fire and ignite a new fire? Make sure your home is hardened and ready to defend itself against a wildfire at http://www.readyforwildfire.org/
