http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rain-has-little-impact-on-northern-california-fire-that-killed-1-displaced-13000/ar-AAei0fN?li=AA54ur&ocid=iehp " MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — Slight rain that fell Monday afternoon in Northern California had little effect on a fierce wildfire that has killed an elderly woman, displaced 13,000 residents and destroyed hundreds of homes. The explosive Valley fire, which broke out in Lake County on Saturday, has overwhelmed firefighters who have scrambled to keep up with its unpredictable nature. Consuming 61,000 acres — 95 square miles — it prompted the local sheriff to declare it the worst tragedy the area had ever seen. The rain appeared to be a sign of reprieve, but fire officials warned that that was not the case. "The reality is that a fire burning this hot, the falling rain never even makes it to the ground," said Doug Pittman, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire. "It's vaporized before it gets to the fire." Pittman added that the landscape has become so desiccated that its response to water, even if sprayed directly on grass and trees, is minimal. A shift in other elements — such as an increase in humidity or a decrease in wind speed — would actually be more helpful. The drop in temperature, however, has at least made conditions more comfortable for the 1,400 firefighters on the scene. "We'll take any and all precipitation that we can get," Pittman said. Shortly after the Valley fire began in the area of Cobb Mountain, residents began calling police for assistance with evacuations, Lt. Steve Brooks of the Lake County Sheriff's office said in a statement. Hundreds of homes were evacuated in the first few hours. Among the calls was a request that someone attend to a woman who was unable to leave her residence. The call was received by dispatch Saturday at 7:12 p.m. PDT, Brooks said. Officers and deputies responded to the area less than 20 minutes later and found the residence already engulfed in flames. " |
