3 firefighters injured while battling California's Canyon Fire
The Canyon Fire erupted on Thursday near Castaic, California, and quickly spread to 5,370 acres by Friday night.
While battling the fire on Friday, three firefighters suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital out of caution, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said.
All three firefighters are expected to fully recover.
Evacuation orders given for roughly 4,300 residents of Los Angeles and Ventura counties were downgraded to evacuation warnings.
The Canyon Fire is 28% contained.
L.A. County Fire said, despite challenging weather conditions and terrain, the fire only spread 500 acres on Friday.
The cause of the fire remains undetermined.
Elevated fire weather conditions are expected to last through Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Smoke from the Canyon Fire and another fire called the Gifford Fire, have been creating air quality concerns across southern California.
An Air Quality Alert is in effect for the Interstatae 5 corridor and Lake Castaic through Sunday morning.Original article source: 3 firefighters injured while battling California's Canyon Fire

The Grand Canyon's Dragon Bravo wildfire sheds light on water infrastructure
As wildfire crews battled the Dragon Bravo Fire on the Grand Canyon's North Rim in July 2025, the air turned toxic. A chlorine gas leak had erupted from the park's water treatment facility as the building burned, forcing firefighters to pull back. The water treatment facility is part of a system that draws water from a fragile spring. It's the only water source and system for the park facilities on both rims, including visitor lodging and park service housing. The fire also damaged some of the area's water pipes and equipment, leaving fire crews to rely on a fleet of large water trucks to haul in water and raising concerns about contamination risks to the water system itself. By mid-August, Dragon Bravo was a 'megafire,' having burned over 140,000 acres, and was one of the largest fires in Arizona history. It had destroyed more than 70 structures, including the iconic Grand Canyon Lodge, and sent smoke across the region. Wildfires like this are increasingly affecting water supplies across the U.S. and creating a compounding crisis that experts in water, utilities and emergency management are only beginning to wrestle with. A pattern across the West Before 2017, when the Tubbs Fire burned through neighborhoods on the edge of Santa Rosa, California, most research on the nexus of wildfire and water had focused on issues such as drought and how climate change effects ecosystems. The Tubbs Fire destroyed thousands of buildings and also melted plastic water pipes. After the fire, a resident's complaint about the taste and odor of tap water led to the discovery that the fire's damage had introduced contaminants including benzene, a carcinogen, into parts of the public water system. It quickly became obvious that the damage discovered at the Tubbs Fire was not unique. Similar damage and pollutants were discovered in another California water system after the 2018 Camp Fire destroyed much of Paradise, a town of over 25,000 people. The list of incidents goes on. In southern Oregon, the 2020 Almeda Fire damaged water pipes in buildings, leaving water to flow freely. That contributed to low system pressure just when people fighting the fire needed the water. In Colorado, the 2021 Marshall Fire burned through urban water lines, damaging six public drinking-water systems along with more than 1,000 structures in the Boulder suburbs. All six systems lost power, which in some cases led to a loss of water pressure, hampering firefighting. As firefighters worked on the Marshall Fire, water system operators raced to keep water flowing and contaminants from being transported into the water systems. But tests still detected chemical contamination, including benzene, in parts of the systems a few weeks later. Then, in January 2025, the Los Angeles fires supercharged concerns about water and wildfire. As firefighters raced to put out multiple fires, hydrants ran dry in some parts of the region, while others at higher elevations depressurized. Ultimately, over 16,000 structures were damaged, leading to insured losses estimated to be as high as US$45 billion. Water infrastructure is not merely collateral damage during wildfires—it is now a central concern. It also raises the question: What can residents, first responders and decision-makers reasonably expect from water systems that weren't designed with today's disasters in mind? Addressing the growing fire and water challenge While no two water systems or fires are the same, nearly every water system component, ranging from storage tanks to pipelines to treatment plants, is susceptible to damage. The Grand Canyon's Roaring Springs system exemplifies the complexity and fragility of older systems. It supplies water to both rims of the park through a decades-old network of gravity-fed pipes and tunnels and includes the water treatment facility where firefighters were forced to retreat because of the chlorine leak. Many water systems have vulnerable points within or near flammable wildlands, such as exposed pump houses that are crucial for pulling water from lower elevations to where it is needed. In addition, hazardous materials such as chlorine or ammonia may be stored on-site and require special considerations in high fire risk areas. Staff capacity is often limited; some small utilities depend on a single operator, and budgets may be too constrained to modernize aging infrastructure or implement fire mitigation measures. As climate change intensifies wildfire seasons, these vulnerabilities can become disaster risks that require making water infrastructure a more integral part of fighting and preparing for wildfires. Ways to help everyone prepare As a researcher with Arizona State University's Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, I have been working with colleagues and fire and water systems experts on strategies to help communities and fire and water managers prepare. Here are a few important lessons: Prioritizing fire-resistant construction, better shielding of chemicals and, in some cases, decentralizing water systems can help protect critical facilities, particularly in high-risk zones. Having backup power supplies, mobile treatment systems and alternate water sources are essential to provide more security in the face of a wildfire. Emergency command protocols and interagency coordination are most effective when they include water utilities as essential partners in all phases of emergency response, from planning to response to recovery. Fire crews and water operators can also benefit from joint training in emergency response, especially when system failure could hinder firefighting itself. Longer term, protecting upstream watersheds from severe fire by thinning forests and using controlled burns, along with erosion control measures, can help maintain water quality and reduce water pollution in the aftermath of fires. Smaller and more isolated systems, particularly in tribal or low-income communities, often need assistance to plan or implement new measures. These systems may require technical assistance, and regional support hubs could support communities with additional resources, including personnel and equipment, so they can respond quickly when crises strike. Looking ahead The Dragon Bravo Fire isn't just a wildfire story, it's also a water story, and it signals a larger, emerging challenge across the West. As fire seasons expand in size and complexity, the overlap between fire and water will only grow. The Grand Canyon fire offers a stark illustration of how wildfire can escalate into a multifaceted infrastructure crisis: Fire can damage water infrastructure, which in turn limits firefighting capabilities and stresses water supplies.

Tons of debris from Placer County bridge that collapsed in 1964 is finally being removed
Starting Tuesday, crews will begin the process of removing steel and concrete debris that's been sitting in the American River for decades. The old State Route 49 Bridge collapsed in 1964 after the Hell Hole Dam failed following a significant weather event. According to Placer County, more than 750 tons of metal and concrete were left in the riverbed. After more than 60 years, phase one will get underway to remove that debris. It has been a drawn-out process to make the cleanup effort happen. In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law a budget that included $8 million to Placer County to complete the project. Tuesday's work is just the start of the first phase of the removal effort. Crews will be building out a temporary ramp to help provide access for the heavy equipment required. People driving on SR-49 are urged to slow down and watch for work crews. Trail closures are also in effect in the area. Parking is also impacted along SR-49, and water recreation is completely closed between the Old Foresthill Road Bridge and No Hands Bridge.

Officials issue extreme heat watch for much of Southern California ahead of major warm-up
Much of Southern California is bracing for a major warm-up as heat returns to the region, threatening dangerous conditions. In preparation for the upcoming weather event, KCAL News has issued a Next Weather Alert to warn communities about the extreme heat and increased fire danger. The alert will be in effect from Wednesday through Saturday for the valleys, Inland Empire, mountains and deserts. The National Weather Service has also issued several weather warnings ahead of the "multi-day heat event." Weather officials predict that many areas will experience record temperatures. A red flag warning will go into effect at 9 a.m. Wednesday and remain until 9 p.m. Saturday for portions of the mountains and foothills of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. A fire weather watch will also go into effect Thursday morning through Saturday evening for portions of the mountains and foothills of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. The NWS says the "unseasonably hot and unstable air mass" is capable of producing "explosive fire behavior." Temperatures are expected to be between 95 and 105 degrees in most interior areas, with mountain and desert locations reaching up to 110 degrees. An extreme heat watch has also been issued from Wednesday afternoon through Saturday evening for much of the Southern California region. Weather officials say the hot conditions will increase the risk of heat illness for everyone, especially vulnerable populations, including young children, the elderly and those without air conditioning.
