Maps show the expanse of the Post Fire near Gorman and the Point Fire in Sonoma, the two largest blazes raging in California.
Firefighters across California are working to extinguish blazes that broke out over the weekend and continued to grow on Monday, as the state contends with a mix of hot, dry weather and powerful, gusty winds. The Post Fire, burning near Gorman, northwest of Los Angeles , spread to more than 15,600 acres, while the Point Fire, in Sonoma, covered 1,190 acres.Officials have released a series of wildfire maps plotting their expansion.
More than 1,100 personnel from 34 different crews had been assigned to respond to it, along with 14 water tankers, 11 bulldozers, seven helicopters and hundreds of additional vehicles. Air tankers dispatched from around California were flying over the area to drop fire retardant as conditions allowed, according to Cal Fire, but the extent of the blaze was limiting visibility overhead.
