NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Ten smokejumpers are on scene and taking suppression actions on the Harvey fire in the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness.
The fire is lightning-caused and approximately 20 miles northwest of Paskenta, according to a Monday report from the Mendocino National Forest.
The smokejumpers estimate the size at one acre and describe fire behavior as creeping and smoldering on the upper third of the slope.
Their assessment also indicates high potential for growth due to a large amount of fuel out in front of the fire.
Suppression actions are being taken on the Harvey fire due to the current and forecast weather which includes the possibility of thunderstorms this week, smoke impacts to outlying areas and the high potential for growth.
