Californians are crossing their fingers for some good luck this Friday the 13th, as the state enters its fifth straight day of wildfires with seemingly no end in sight. Another fire warning is in effect in the East Bay hills and parts of Santa Clara County.

Meanwhile, Cal Fire’s latest fire map indicates some progress made on blazes that have been running rampant in the North Bay and beyond, although others are still scarcely contained at all.
