| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Wildfires that developed after a dry lightning event in mid-August continued to burn in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Trinity counties in Northwest California. One fire, the Smith River Complex, was particularly damaging and is included here. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Dry thunderstorms produced numerous lightning strikes across the Six Rivers National Forest. Twenty-seven fires developed within the Gasquet Ranger District creating the Smith River Complex. The complex grew in size rapidly in the first couple of weeks of the fire, jumping U.S. highway 199 causing it's closure for 3 weeks and resulting in the evacuation of the town of Gasquet. The fire also destroyed the high tension powerlines powering all of Del Norte County. The county was completely without power through August 25th when generators were installed to power the community. Main transmission lines were not repaired until September 10th when full power was restored. The fire continued to burn through September into October with fewer impacts to the community with a total of 95,000 acres burned plus 2 residences and 3 minor structures destroyed. |
