Inciweb Mendocino Ranch Fire Map
The Mendocino Complex Fire is the largest fire in California’s history, and it includes the Ranch and River Fires, which are totaling more than 300,000 acres as of August 8. Here are updated details with interactive maps of the fires’ current locations.
Firefighters Gained 26 Percent on Containing the Ranch Fire on August 8
The Ranch Fire is currently 251,166 acres and 46 percent contained. This is actually good news. Although the fire has grown some, yesterday it was only 20 percent contained. A 26 percent containment in one day is a sign that firefighters may be getting control of this fire, as long as the weather cooperates. High, gusty winds can sometimes cause complications with fire suppression.
The River Fire, which is also part of the Mendocino Complex fire, is holding at 48,920 acres, and an increase in containment of 3 percent for a total of 81 percent of the fire contained.
The total acreage for the Mendocino Complex fire is 300,086 acres and 47 percent contained. Officials are hopeful that they will have full containment by September 1. So far, there have been no fatalities from these fires. However, 116 residences have been destroyed and more than 10,000 structures are currently threatened, according to CAL FIRE.
