California Wildfire Latest: 9 Large Fires, 2 Deaths, Hundreds of Homes Destroyed Here are the latest stats on the major fires currently burning in the state. Shared from the Temecula, CA Patch By Renee Schiavone (Patch Staff) - June 27, 2016 2:52 pm ET 6 More than 5,200 firefighters are working Monday to battle nine large blazes across the Golden State as fire season rages on. And as we move into another warm week, Cal Fire is warning of increased fire risk. "Yesterday’s high temperatures combined with the low humidity led to an increase in wildfire conditions," Cal Fire Spokesman Daniel Berlant said Monday morning. "Several large wildfires broke out burning hundreds of acres." Berlant said that since temperatures are forecast to be anywhere from five to 15 degrees above normal and humidity is expected to drop, a dangerous combination will increase the fire risk statewide. "There is a chance for isolated lightning in the mountains of San Bernardino down to San Diego," he added. The Fires The largest fire of all right now is the deadly Erskine Fire in Kern County, near Lake Isabella. As of Monday morning, an estimated 45,388 acres had burned and 200 homes had been destroyed. Dozens more are in jeopardy. Two fatalities related to the fire are confirmed. Containment is estimated at 40 percent. 7 Over the weekend, a fire popped up about 2.5 miles northeast of Laguna Beach, in the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park. An estimated 50 acres has burned there so far, and it's considered 60 percent contained, according to Cal Fire.
