California Faces Its 2nd-Biggest Fire This Year—Forcing Evacuations
(Worthy News) – The Smith River Complex wildfire on the California-Oregon border grew to more than 47,000 acres on Wednesday, forcing residents in both states to evacuate as California sees its second biggest wildfire of the 2023 season, even after the southern part of the state was slammed with heavy rain from Tropical Storm Hilary.
The fire remains 0% contained as of Wednesday morning, according to a state incident report, while more than 1,200 personnel are fighting the fire, including around the small town of Gasquet, which has been fully evacuated.
Northeast winds are expected to push the fire to the southwest, after it combined with two others—the Kelly fire and Holiday fire—that had merged into one fire on Monday. [ Source: Forbes (Read More…) ]
