Riverside County Wolf Fire evacuations still in place; Lake and Juniper fire orders lifted
As temperatures rose and conditions dried over the weekend, residents of Southern California received a swift reminder of fire season as at least seven fires broke out across the Southland, according to Cal Fire. The fires were mostly split between Riverside and San Bernardino counties, burning thousands of acres and forcing evacuations. As of Tuesday afternoon, just the Wolf Fire in Riverside County still had mandatory evacuations in place. Three of the seven were still at 50% or less containment and burned more than 20 acres as of Tuesday. Wolf Fire Located near Banning, the Wolf Fire has burned about 2,414 acres since it started on Sunday afternoon. As of Tuesday, containment was at 30%. Cal Fire said crews were attacking the blaze aggressively from the air and ground. "Steep, rugged terrain, high temperatures and wind remain challenging factors for firefighters," Cal Fire said in a post to X. "Cooler temperatures [Tuesday night], with higher humidity will assist firefighters in constructing and strengthening containment lines." Evacuation orders remained in place in the immediate area. An evacuation map can be found here. According to Cal Fire, three firefighters have been injured while battling the blaze. Juniper Fire The Juniper Fire in Riverside Fire quickly ignited and ballooned up to nearly 700 acres on Monday afternoon. A rapid response by crews to the blaze, which was located in unincorporated Perris, managed to slow the spread. Evacuation orders were issued by 3 p.m. but were rescinded by 9 p.m., Cal Fire said. Containment was at 30% as of Tuesday, as crews continue to strengthen containment lines. Lake Fire San Bernardino County's Lake Fire burned just south of Hesperia in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains starting Saturday afternoon. Evacuation orders were issued quickly and were retracted by Sunday afternoon. As of Tuesday, the blaze covers 483 acres according to Cal Fire, although forward progress has been stopped. It's currently at 50% containment.

Michigan parks and campgrounds have reopened for holiday weekend, following spring ice storms
If you plan on heading to the state parks or forests up North for this Fourth of July holiday weekend, be mindful of lingering hazards and damage from the March ice storm. All the state parks and boating access sites that closed due to the storm have reopened, and all state forest campgrounds are expected to be open this weekend. The March 28-30 storm led to 19 state parks, 54 state forest campgrounds, and 162 boating access sites closing. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources staff have spent thousands of hours cleaning the area since. The North Western State Trail, North Central State Trail, and North Eastern State Trail have been cleared to open. However, the DNR asks that visitors please respect closure signs, as about 60% of the region is still closed. Parts of the forest suffered severe and permanent damage, appearing different from before the storm. Tree branches are hanging, tree stumps are sticking out the ground, and over a thousand roads are impassable. You can find a map and dashboard detailing the status — open, partially open or temporarily closed — of the state-managed facilities, trails and forest roads, as well as an interactive map and safety updates, all on the Michigan DNR's ice storm response page.
