A week into a regional lightning bust across the Klamath and Siskiyou Mountains, fires have burned over 50,000 acres. Much of this acreage has burned with \'backing fire\' which has resulted in beneficial low-moerate severity fire effects. This video discusses the potential for growth on the largest fires, looks at how fire history in each area affects the potential for major growth, and talks about other aspects of wildfire behavior and management.

In this video, we look at the amount of resources available for firefighting across NW California, and talk about why the numbers of firefighters is insufficient to contain most of the largest fires.
