CALIFORNIA — Firefighting forces in California are stretched thin battling 14 major wildfires, and the U.S. Forest Service announced Friday that it will close nine national forests in the state during the week leading up to the Labor Day Holiday.

The closures begin on Sunday and last through Sept. 6 as extreme fire conditions slam Northern California.

The forests subject to closure include the following.

Klamath National Forest.
Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit.
Lassen National Forest.
Mendocino National Forest.
Modoc National Forest.
Plumas National Forest.
Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
Six Rivers National Forest.
Tahoe National Forest.
“We do not take this decision lightly and understand how this impacts people who enjoy recreating on the National Forests,” Regional Forester Jennifer Eberlien said in a written statement. “These temporary closures are necessary to ensure public and firefighter safety, as well as reduce the potential for new fire starts.”

About 12,460 firefighters are already spread across the state battling monster fires, including the Dixie fire, which spans 1,060 square miles and has been burning since July 13. As of Friday, the Dixie fire was still just 35 percent contained and menaced 16,000 structures, Cal Fire reported.

On Thursday alone, another 27 brush fires broke out in the state. Crews managed to contain them quickly in order to devote resources to the massive fires already burning across Nothern California.

To help Californians keep safe and keep tabs on where fires are burning, the National Alliance for Public Safety GIS Foundation created an interactive map showing all active fires.

The map showed recently contained fires and regions that have a red flag warning in place. The map does not show evacuation routes, but the foundation also maintains a spreadsheet with updated evacuation maps in areas that apply.
