Abc 7 news. Daniel, we appreciate your time. A massive effort over the past couple weeks by your firefighters to contain the three main blazes. How concerned are you with the heat . Despite the progress that weve made, many of these are around 80 contained. Specifically the lnu lightning complex. With these extreme temperatures, coupled with low humidity and the existing dry conditions, there is the potential we could see flareups and we could see increased fire activity. We are increasing our efforts for containment. These fires and well be holding on resources through the weekend so we can ensure that were not only holding back the current fires but ready to respond to potentially new fires that may ignite over the weekend. Smoke is still thick in many parts of the bay area. How long do you speck that to last . And how many does it hamper your efforts . If youre trying to do water drops but it is too smoky, its not safe to fly. How much of an impediment is this . The smoke is an interesting effect of the fires. When the smoke is thick, it does playing it difficult for to us fight it from the air. It could hamper our efforts or make it inefficient to use air tankers, et cetera. It is typically, when the winds picks up, it allows that smoke to be pushed out of an area. If the wind is picking up to move the smoke, it will pick up and potentially move the fire. So weve got to continue to make our efforts on the ground. Despite whatever the smoke bris tows. We have other days where we will hold that smoke through. Right now with the lnu lightning complex has not grown in the last couple of days. So the smoke has not impacted our ability for firefighters on the ground to contain the fire. How many firefighters do you have on the lines right now . And how exhausted are they, given what theyve been doing the last couple weeks . This is really, really hard work. Yeah. Our firefighters have been on the front lines. These fires are going on almost three weeks now. We still have nearly 13,000 firefighters working to contain it. Weve held on a lot of it. Specifically because we know that these temperatures that could increase this weekend may increase the fire activity. But we have to remember, our firefighters have been battling fire after fire after fire all summer long. We had several large fires in Southern California before this lightning siege occurred. So it has been a grueling month to say the least. And really, historically september to november when we have our largest wildfires. So we are making sure we assistant ready. Definitely working the give our firefighters a bit of a break as fire activity has died down. Any guess on full containment on the three major fires . I know you want to get a lot done in the next 24 hours. We continue to increase almost every day now anywhere from 5 to 10 . We are definitely moving toward that 100 full contaicontaiconti in the santa cruz mountains, one reason it has been difficult to get full containment, some of the redwood trees have roots going in the ground. The fire is still smoldering under the ground. So in some cases, we have to dig four feet down in order to ensure that line can withhold it in the perimeter. So yes, were working hard to hold it through weekend. It could be several more weeks. Even into next month before full containment is made. Wow, thats a lot. Stay safe.
