From Santa Barbara County to the Oregon border, 323 wildfires raged. Calif.
winds fan 'perfect storm' GANNETT NEWS SERVICE Scorching heat and whipping winds kept stoking wildfires across California on Wednesday, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes and spewing smoke into already polluted skies. From Santa Barbara County to the Oregon border, 323 fires continued to rage, down from a peak of 1,781. The fires, which began in June, have burned 675,631 acres, a figure that threatens to topple a record set in 1936, when 756,696 acres burned during the entire fire season. "This is definitely unprecedented to have this many fires this early in the season," said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as CAL FIRE. "It's the perfect storm.
The conditions are extremely dry. Then you add higher temperatures early. in the season and wind and lightning." Much of Central and Northern California is sweltering under record or near-record temperatures. Forecasters predict a high of up to 112 degrees in Redding today, said Felix Garcia of the National Weather Service. The mercury is expected to hit 105 degrees in Sacramento, and temperatures will remain unusually high until the weekend.
"Every little spark is able to grow into a large acre fire" in that heat, Berlant said. Wind has fanned the flames, particularly in Northern California's Butte County, which includes the communities of Concow and Paradise. A major fire there was nearly contained when wind started gusting early Tuesday, said Fred Orsborn, CAL FIRE spokesman. About 40 houses were destroyed in Concow, he said. In Paradise, about 8,000 people have been evacuated from their homes.
Mary Johnston, 22, who lives near Concow with her father and two children, burst into tears when she saw a photo of her charred house in a newspaper. "I'm going nuts. Everything's gone," she told the Associated Press. "It's been so trying, especially with my kids. They don't even know what's going on.
It's kind of hard telling them everything's gone, all your toys." On the Central Coast, the blaze that threatens Big Sur is 27 percent contained, and crews are making progress, said Kristy Bryner of the Forest Service. Californians are bracing for more polluted air, which has kept them indoors and limited physical activities. Smoke means more dangerous particulate matter in the air, and high temperatures worsen ozone pollution, said Dimitri Stanich, spokesman for the California Air Resources Board. Bakersfield, Fresno, Modesto and other cities were forecast to have ozone in the "very unhealthy range" Wednesday, he said. That means the air is unhealthy for the general population, not just people with underlying health problems such as asthma.
