MONTEREY, Calif. (KION) - Temperatures are on the rise with parts of South Monterey County, Hollister and the Santa Cruz Mountains seeing temps in the 90s. Seeing a rise in temperature during the fall is a cause for concern when it comes to fires in California. "It only takes a couple of hours of direct sunlight and really they're ready to burn. It only takes one spark," says Curtis Rhodes, Fire Captain for the San Benito Monterey Unit. CAL FIRE says they are keeping an eye on the inland areas, as parts of the central coast are expecting to hit close to triple-digit heat.
