Many of the lightning-caused fires in Northern California have been burning for two weeks now, prompting evacuations. Thousands of firefighters are working on suppression efforts across the region, with resources spread over dozens of wildfires.The Smith River Complex in Del Norte County and southern Oregon is now 6% contained, at over 70,000 acres. Adverse weather patterns are expected for Wednesday and Thursday this week, according to a Monday USFS release on the complex.
As for the other fires in the complex, the release notes that poor visibility is again preventing helicopter firefighting on the Diamond Fire. A plan to reopen State Route 199 for escorted travel twice a day has been put on pause until at least Aug. 30, according to a CHP news release. This is due to “aggressive fire behavior and severe weather,” in Oregon. Two management teams have been on the fires, with part of the complex being handled by Incident Management Team CERT team from Pacific Northwest and the California Interagency Incident Management Team 15 managing the rest.
Firefighting on Redwood State and National Parks land had a “successful weekend,” said Jake Akerberg, operations branch director in Monday’s NPS update. More growth is not expected on these fires, he noted. In Orleans, air quality is at periods of unhealthy and very unhealthy, according to the North Coast Air Quality Management District. The nearby Pearch fire fire is estimated at 2,278 acres.
