episode_narrativeThunderstorms with little or no rain spread across the area on June 21st. About 8000 lighting strikes were detected, sparking approximately 2000 wildfires across northern California. These fires destroyed numerous structures and caused multiple deaths and injuries. Evacuations were ordered for affected communities. Smoke from the wildfires caused respiratory concerns across the region. Due to the shear number of fires initiated and early season lower resource levels, many fires were not initially staffed. Many of these fires continued to burn through July and into August.
event_narrativeThe Canyon Complex was located west of Quincy and included 55 lighting initiated fires that burned a total of 37,753 acres. One residence and two outbuildings were destroyed. Two firefighter injuries were reported. The fires were 90 percent contained by the end of the month.
