The Marmot fire in Tulare County's Three Rivers was 15% contained after firefighters said they were able to stop the 127-acre fire from advancing Wednesday.
A wildfire south of Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks has burned through 127 acres, but fire officials said they’ve stopped the fire’s movement for now.
The Marmot fire was sparked Tuesday afternoon southeast of Three Rivers, a small community in Tulare County that’s near the national parks. The fire threatened homes, but officials have issued only evacuation warnings to residents in the area.McKinney fire has hit the stratosphere, spewing the ‘fire-breathing dragon of clouds’
A deadly combination of intense heat, parched vegetation and dry conditions has turned the 55,000-acre McKinney fire in the Klamath National Forest into its own force of nature. The culprit: human-caused climate change. The Tulare County Sheriff’s Office issued evacuation warnings for the area, including along Cinnamon Canyon Drive into the parks, telling residents to be ready to evacuate. By Wednesday, the Sheriff’s Office had lifted the warning, but the area at South Fork Drive and Mountain Road 319 remained closed.
On Wednesday morning, officials from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said the fire was 15% contained. The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
