California is currently battling multiple wildfires, with the Fresno Lightning Complex and Basin Fire being the most significant. The Fresno Lightning Complex, consisting of three fires, has expanded to around 10,000 acres. Meanwhile, the Basin Fire in the Sierra National Forest near Fresno has grown to over 13,166 acres and is 17% contained. At one point, the Basin Fire was mapped at over 9,000 acres and later grew to 9,500 acres. Evacuations have been ordered for residents east of Fresno due to the rapid spread of these fires. Visibility issues have hindered tanker operations, but helicopters are actively fighting the blaze. The fires have been ignited by lightning and are burning in areas previously affected by the Rough Fire. Crews and aviation units are working tirelessly to control the fires and protect the affected communities.
