Three Northern California Fires Burn Out of Control
Three fires raged Tuesday across forested terrain in Trinity County and nearby regions. About 300 State Forestry crews plus six borate bombers and two helicopters fought the largest blaze occupying around 7 000 acres between Douglas City and Hayfork, as roads closed and nearby towns faced risk. Firefighters reported two additional fires near the main blaze with uncertain sizes, while winds complicated suppression efforts and a 1 900 acre fire near the Merced River canyon was being challenged by erratic winds with hopes for containment by today.
