  • The Detwiler Fire Is Active at Night, and a Scientist Says That's Relatively
    The Detwiler Fire is active at night, and a scientist says that’s relatively new By Lewis Griswold Modesto Bee, Saturday, July 22, 2017 A prolonged drought, tall grasses, steep terrain and erratic winds are making the Detwiler Fire in Mariposa County difficult to get under control, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. But something else seems to be at play – high temperatures and low humidity at night are keeping the fire going. It’s unclear if global climate change is to blame, but a professor of fire science at the University of California Center for Fire Research and Outreach said firefighters have been reporting in recent years that wildfires in California aren’t slowing down at night like they used to. The 70,000-plus-acre Detwiler fire burning near Yosemite National Park west of Mariposa can be seen from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite above. The satellite imagery shows wind pushing the smoke. The Detwiler Fire, which started July 16, had destroyed 60 homes and burned 75,200 acres as of Saturday morning and was 30 percent contained. Full containment is not expected until Aug. 5. But the evacuation order for Mariposa was lifted Friday. Meanwhile, smoke has been drifting into the San Joaquin Valley, prompting the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to issue a health caution. Last week, Cal Fire noted that a lack of higher humidity at night was allowing the Detwiler Fire to keep growing. For example, from the evening of July 18 to the next morning, the fire nearly doubled, expanding from 25,000 acres to 45,724.

  • An Ever-Expanding Disaster Risk Is Transforming the California Fire
    Volume 25 | No. 3 Third Quarter 2017 n the pre-dawn hours on October 9th, a Berkeley Fire Department strike team rolled into Santa Rosa, called in on a mutual aid response to what they thought was a large wildland fire. As they EVOLVING arrived in their assigned staging area – a Kmart Iparking lot in northwest Santa Rosa – they knew it was much bigger: The Kmart was completely up in flames. “Are you serious?” wondered one incredulous Engine 6 firefighter. Up the road, fellow Berkeley firefighter Josh Block UNDER FIRE had already seen the worst of it. He and his brother had been forced to flee the home they shared in Santa An Ever-Expanding Disaster Risk is Rosa. “The whole cul-de-sac was up in flames in like 10 minutes,” he later marveled. “Fifty-foot flame lengths … I’ve never seen anything like it.” Transforming the California Fire Service The North Bay Firestorm that would unfold in the blistering week that followed was, by many accounts, one for the ages: 43 deaths (most ever in a single fire incident in California history), more than 8,000 structures lost, total losses estimated in the billions. More than three dozen firefighters lost their own homes in the event – many of them while they were themselves on the fire lines. For the California fire service, cataclysmic events are starting to seem like just another day at the office. In just the second half of 2017, a string of incidents – far flung and close-to-home – have tested the capa- bilities, training, stamina and courage of the state’s first responders: JULY: A series of windblown wildland fires charred an area the size of New York City, sending tens of thousands fleeing from their homes.
