A total of 106,453 acres have burned since the start of 2024, compared with 6,781 acres in the same time frame in 2023, according to Cal Fire.
"It's difficult to forecast because there are knowns and unknowns," said Isaac Sanchez, the deputy chief of communications at Cal Fire.
"The fine grasses are first to dry out," Jason Clay, a spokesperson for Cal Fire, said. "The timber takes a heck of a lot longer to dry out than grass."
Cal Fire's North Bay unit had a significant increase in acres burned in June 2024 compared to previous years.
