Bay Area firefighters responded to hundreds of fires on July Fourth, many sparked by illegal fireworks, as the region faces a worsening drought and wildfire season.
The counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco and the city of Oakland alone reported at least 216 fires from Sunday morning through Monday morning. A couple municipalities said the number of fires were down from last Independence Day.
