Sheep fire near Wrightwood balloons past 900 acres, prompting evacuations
“Given the fuel conditions, the fire conditions that we’re here talking about, I foresee a very tough four, five, six months in front of us,” Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy said Thursday.News video of the Sheep fire showed intense fire activity, including towering flame lengths and thick clouds of swirling smoke as it ripped through dried brush.Climate change, drought and soaring temperatures are setting the stage for another devastating wildfire season, officials say.
“We’re going to have another windier day up there today as the trough moves through,” Roser said. Temperatures will be in the 70s and humidity levels around 20%. “They’re really focusing hard on the edges on the northwest side and the south end to secure those edges, to hope that the wind won’t blow the fire out of the containment lines,” she said. “That’s a huge focus for today — securing those high-risk areas with hose lines and hand lines.”
