Progress continues to be made on California’s wildfires. Over 7,000 firefighters remain committed to the dozen state and federal fires burning across California.

Overnight northern California received over 900 lightning downstrikes with very little to no rainfall with the thunder cells. Multiple lightning-sparked wildfires have already been reported. Thunder cells remain active this morning leaving the potential for additional fires today.
