Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger looks at a map outlining the state's wildfires during a recent briefing. The Jenny Lind Fire Protection District has sent a strike team to assist in the state's firefighting efforts.

Jenny Lind strike team helping fight blazes in north state

By Nick Baptista

   State and federal firefighters continue to battle hundreds of blazes throughout Northern California and the Jenny Lind Fire Protection District is lending a hand.

   The rash of wildfires throughout the north state is attributed to weekend lightning strikes and unseasonably dry vegetation.

   An engine and strike team from Jenny Lind were dispatched Monday evening to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest near Redding, Chief Brian Chavez-Ochoa reported. The Engine 113 crew consists of Mike Cammisa, Hunter Halsted, Jaime Mullin and Zachary Roy, along with Division Chief Scott Mullin.

   The Jenny Lind crew drove overnight and arrived at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. They initially were earmarked for structure protection, but with more than 70 fires in the Shasta-Trinity Unit, and many of them unattended, the Jenny Lind crew immediately was sent to the fire line, the chief said.

   The length of their deployment is unknown. “I think they’ll be there for awhile,” the chief said, adding that the Jenny Lind district has plenty of resources to fill in for the crew in the meantime.

   According to CalFire, there have been 157 fires for a total of 12,000 acres in the Shasta-Trinity Unit. As of Wednesday evening, 68 of the fires had been contained.

   The Jenny Lind crew was pretty much working alone cutting lines around one of the fires, the chief said. The fire they’ve been working on has been given a higher priority and additional resources are expected to be sent their way.

   The largest of the blazes in the unit is the Lime Complex Fires at 7,500 acres. The Lime Complex Fires are located 14 miles west of Hayfork and were 10 percent contained by Wednesday evening.
