Last week's hotter-than-normal conditions contributed to more than 100 new fires across California, state fire officials said Monday.
However, Cal Fire's latest Fire Situation Report said that despite hot and dry conditions, firefighters have continued to make progress on the big blazes.
Two major incidents continue to burn this week, including the Applegate Fire in Placer County and the Happy Camp Complex in Siskiyou County.
Fire officials expect hot and dry conditions, along with winds, to continue, although there is the possibility of some rain ahead this week across Northern California.
This week, Cal Fire's Situation Report also paid tribute to Geoffrey “Craig” Hunt, 62, of San Jose, the pilot killed while fighting the Dog Rock Fire near Yosemite National Park on Oct. 7.
