Some of the strongest winds in years fanned several brush fires during the final week of October around Southern California. Some fires continued to burn into the weekend, when decreased winds and cool temperatures aided firefighters.
Humidity levels remain low, a major reason why a red flag warning remains in effect for the region. The warning covers parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Fall is historically one of the most dangerous times of the year for wildfires in California. Seven of the state's 10-most destructive wildfires occurred in October -- many fueled by powerful winds, including Santa Ana gusts.
Below, a look at where recent wildfires are burning. This list includes active fires and those that have threatened or burned homes. It will be updated as more information is available.
