Big Sur Fires Show Signs of Progress | Fresno News

Big Sur’s twin wildfires, the Plaskett and Timber Fires, have scorched over 55,000 acres—though containment is inching up: Plaskett jumped from 1% to 19%, Timber sits at 23%. Crews battle steep, overgrown terrain, while the Plaskett Fire now threatens military bases. Cooler temps and humidity have slowed flames and improved air quality, with Highway 1 reopening in parts—but officials warn warmer, drier weather could return by the holiday weekend, bringing smoke and danger back. Stay alert, especially if you’re sensitive to smoke. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
