California Fire Map, Update as Bobcat Blaze 'Continues to Advance,' Burns Over 100,000 Acres
California wildfires have burned over 3.6 million acres of the state so far this year, with 26 reported deaths and more than 6,400 structures destroyed since August 15, according to the latest report Monday from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire).
Over 19,000 firefighters are currently battling 27 major fires in California, according to Cal Fire's report Monday, including the Bobcat Fire in Los Angeles County, which has burned over 100,000 acres.
The Bobcat blaze "continues to advance depending on fuels, topography and diurnal winds. Active backing, flanking, torching and spotting continues to be observed," according to the latest report from the Incident Information System of the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG).
"Temperatures are expected to rise in many areas in the north and south portions of the state towards the latter half of the week along with a chance of north winds, increasing potential for critical fire weather," Cal Fire noted.
