Jaime Moore, the public information officer for the Caldor Fire, was quoted as saying in the report.To better provide public and firefighter safety due to extreme fire conditions throughout Northern California, and strained firefighter resources throughout the country, the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region is announcing a temporary closure of all national forests in California, according to CAL FIRE.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
