Wildfires are raging across California due to extreme heat and dry conditions. The Pickett fire in Napa County has burned thousands of acres, forcing evacuations in Calistoga. Other fires have ignited in Angeles National Forest, Kern County, and Alameda County. While no injuries or significant structural damage have been reported, red flag warnings are in effect across several counties due to high temperatures and low humidity. Fire crews are battling the blazes with additional resources deployed. Cooling centers are open in Los Angeles County.
