Lightning storms on 8/14 and 8/14 across wide swaths of Northern California ignited over 80 new fires, several of which have grown large. This video discusses the potential for growth on the largest fires, looks at how fire history in each area affects the potential for major growth, and talks about other aspects of wildfire behavior and management.
