California fire: Climate change caused fires says State Governor Hot weather and drought conditions have led to wildfires sparking across the state of California, with warm winds fanning flames across dry undergrowth. Evacuation zones remain in place for many, as containment of the flames is the main concern for firefighters across the state. Temperatures have reached well over 30C in recent days, and show no sign of cooling down. Almost 4,000 fires were burning across the eastern state on August 5, scorching over more than 600,000 acres according to Cal Fire. That is more than double the number of acres burning in wildfire season at this time last year and more than four times the five-year average. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has issued travel advice for those travelling to California. “Wildfires can spread swiftly, so if you’re in the area you should remain vigilant, monitor local media reports, and follow the instructions issued by local authorities, including obeying any evacuation orders,” advises the FCO. A major disaster has been declared across the state by President Donald Trump. Aircraft have been dropping water on the flames in an attempt to contain the fires Which fires are currently burning?
