(Orleans Fire still burning in Del Norte and Siskiyou Counties)....It has been burning since July 9th.

Imperial County sent a Strike Team to assist. The Orleans Complex Fire is actually two fires burning in the two counties. At last report Monday morning, 21,070 acres have burned. They say it is now 38% contained. Evacuation orders remain in place, along with evacuation warnings. Cal Fire says the spread of both the Butler and Red Fires have been slowed somewhat. The prognosis is cautiously optimistic. The cause of the fires is still being investigated, but speculation is they were caused by lightening.
