The following information concerning the Smith River Complex Fires is from the U.S. Forest Service as of Tuesday, Oct. 3.
A storm complex that meant rainfall on fires burning in Northern California also blocked firefighters from accessing the blazes, which are largely burning in rugged terrain. The Smith River Complex, the largest of a group of fires sparked by dry lightning weeks ago, is now burning at over 94,000 acres.
The SRF/Redwood lightning complexes total 40,670 acres and 7% containment.
