The Norte Fire in Orange County, California is impacting neighborhoods, as evacuations have been requested from Camino Las Ramblas down to I-5.

This will end up being a devastating wildfire. High winds and temps are fueling its growth. 500+ acres now. Things are not good right now in Cali, wind driven fires break all the rules

Yakima Unit resources completed Meloy RX Units 2 & 3 last week totaling 276 acres. The objectives of this burn were to improve browse for native species, improve the forests resilience to wildfire through raising the canopy height and removing hazardous slash. This burn also promoted natural regeneration from the mature timber within the stand by creating a clear seed bed.

Unit resources will continue to patrol the prescribed fire until we have a season ending event.

Interested in being apart of this next year? Seasonal firefighter and engine leader positions open in November for Summer 2027. Applications can be found in our bio link.
