The recent Clayton fire in Lake County tore through the community of Lower Lake in Lake county, destroying over 150 structures including many in the historic downtown. Hundreds of residents were evacuated. A 40 year old Clearlake resident, Damon Pashilk, was arrested under suspicion of arson which has grievously angered an already stressed community as visions of last year's Valley, Jerusalem, and Rocky fires bring back painful memories and worries of the future. Yesterday, Tuesday, August 16th, I drove into Lower Lake's historic Main street to photograph the damage and recovery efforts.

During July, I covered the Wragg wildfire which raged a week long, south of Lake Beryessa along highway 128, west of Winters. I grew up boating and hiking with my family on the lake and around the Beryessa area, so this fire had a rather personal ring to it for me, though that may be the subject of another piece some other time. While I'm saving the majority of my work for a larger piece on the California Drought, I wanted to share a few of the more remarkable images. At nearly 7,000 acres burned, I thought it would end up being one of the larger wildfires in the region this summer, but not days after the Wragg fire was put out, the Rocky fire started north of Beryessa in Lake county, burning 70,000 acres. Immediately following that, the Jerusalem fire caught--now at 25,000+ acres burned as of writing this--and has merged with the area burned by the Rocky fire. Nearly 100,000 acres burned in Lake County, California alone. Day 1 - Wednesday, July 22 | Davis & Winters  Facing West on the northerly outskirts of Davis, CA. |
