However, Cal Fire is also encouraging all Californians to prepare to leave their homes in case of a wildfire. Cal Fire spokesperson Lynnette Round said on Wednesday: “My recommendation is that all the citizens in California be ready to go if there is a wildfire.

“Residents have to have their bags packed up with your nose facing out your driveway so you can leave quickly. Everybody should be ready to go, especially if you’re in a wildfire area.”

In a tweet, Gov. Gavin Newsom said: “CA has experienced 10,849 lightning strikes in the last 72 hours and WORLD RECORD heat temperatures. We’re currently battling 367 known fires.

“Grateful for our firefighters, first responders, and everyone on the frontlines protecting Californians during this time.”

“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.

“Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heatstroke is an emergency! Call 9-1-1.”
