AVE SOME REALLY BIG FIRES
WITH THE SOPRANOS STAR AND THE
CHIMNEY FIRE -- SOBERANES FIRE.
ERIN: AS WE SAID, WITH THE
HIGHER TEMPERATURES COME THE
WILDFIRE CONCERNS.
RIGHT NOW, FIREFIGHTERS IN
FRESNO COUNTY ARE WORKING TO
CONTAIN A WILDFIRE THEY SAY HAS
NOW DOUBLED IN SIZE.
THE ELM FIRE IS NORTH OF FRESNO
NEAR COALINGA AND HAS BURNED
THROUGH 10,300-ACRES SINCE
YESTERDAY.
IT IS 70% CONTAINED TONIGHT.
THE FLAMES ARE THREATENING
SEVERAL HOMES AND HAVE FORCED
PEOPLE NEARBY TO EVACUATE AND
WINDY CONDITIONS AREN'T HELPING
MATTERS.
CALFIRE CREWS FROM THE CENTRAL
COAST
HAVE BEEN SENT TO HELP BATTLE
THAT WILDFIRE, WITH MORE ON WHAT
FIREFIGHTERS ARE EXPECTING THIS
SUMMER, AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING
TO TRY AND PREVENT THE FIRES WE
, GO TO
ACTION NEWS REPORTER FELIX
CORTEZ LIFE IN HOLLISTER.
PHIL: WE ARE LIVE OVER HERE AT
THE CALFIRE AIR BASE IN
HOLLISTER, AND THE WORD FROM
FIREFIGHTERS THIS IS GOING TO BE
ONE OF THE BUSIEST FIRE SEASONS
IN YEARS.
FELIX: THE LAST TWO WEEKS HERE
AT THE HOLLISTER CALFIRE AIR
BASE ARE A PRETTY GOOD
INDICATION OF HOW BUSY
FIREFIGHTERS COULD BE THIS
SUMMER.
SINCE RAMPING UP STAFFING LEVELS
11 DAYS AGO, THE AIR SQUADRON
HAS RESPONDED TO MORE THAN A
DOZEN FIRES AND DROVE NEARLY
20,000 POUNDS OF FIRE RETARDANT
AND IT'S ONLY MAY.
>> WE'VE HAD AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT
OF RAIN, IT IS CAUSED TO THE
GRASS CROP TO GROW SUBSTANTIALLY
SO WE ARE EXPERIENCING A MUCH
TALLER MORE DENSE GRASS CROP
, THAN WE'VE HAD IN LAST COUPLE
OF YEARS AND GRASS IS WHAT
CATCHES ON FIRE THE EASIEST :42.
FELIX: THAT'S WHY CALFIRE AND
CALTRANS HAVE BROUGHT OUT THE
HEAVY MOWERS TO CUT DOWN THE THE
THICK AND TALL GRASS THAT POSES
ONE OF THE BIGGEST FIRE DANGERS
THIS SUMMER.
>> SO MUCH RAIN THIS WINTER THE
GRASS IS 6 FEET TALL IN SOME
AREAS.
>> WE HAVE OUR GRASS CROP THAT'S
DRYING OUT WHICH IS THE FINE
FLASHY FUELS THAT CARRY FIRES
INTO ALL THAT DEAD MATERIAL THAT
WE STILL HAVE FROM 5 YEARS OF
DROUGHT.
FELIX: FIRE SEASON ONLY --
ALREADY UP TO A QUICK START.
-- FIRE SEASON ALREADY OFF TO A
QUICK START, CALFIRE AIRBASES
AND STATIONS ARE NOW FULLY
STAFFED ON THE CENTRAL COAST. .
IN FACT SOME CREWS ARE HELPING
TO FIGHT THE HUGE WILDFIRE
BURNING NEAR COALINGA.
>> STAFFING HAS INCREASED
BECAUSE WE ANTICIPATING A LOT
MORE STARTS AND A LOT MORE FIRES
WHICH WE ARE NOW SEEING.
A LOT MORE FIRE ACTIVITY GOING
ON.
>> IT'S DEFINITELY DANGEROUS OUT
THERE WITH THE GRASS CROP WE DO
HAVE AND YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO
BE A BUSY YEAR.
FELIX: JUST WANT TO GIVE SOME
TIPS TO OUR VIEWERS THAT THEY
CAN TAKE TO HELP EVENT FIRES
THIS SUMMER.
YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT 100 FOOT
DEFENSIBLE SPACE IF YOU LIVE OUT
IN THE RURAL AREAS AND IF YOU
KNOW, DO THAT BEFORE 10:00 -- IF
YOU MOW, DO THAT BEFORE 10:00 IN
THE MORNING.
IF YOU'RE PULLING A TRAILER,
MAKE SURE CHAINS AREN'T
DANGLING, SPARKS FROM THAT CAN
EASILY START A FIRE, AND IF
CAMPING ONLY DO CAMP FIRES IN
APPROVED FIRE RINGS WITH THE
NECESSARY PERMIT.
THAT LAST ONE KEY BECAUSE IT WAS
AN ILLEGAL CAMPFIRE THAT IGNITED
LAST SUMMER'S SOBERANES FIRE,
WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE MOST
EXPENSIVE FIRE IN U.S. HISTORY.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THAT
ELM FIRE BURNING IN FRESNO
COUNTY AND HAVE AN UPDATE
