Incendio Plaskett supera los 27 000 acres y cierra carreteras

Cal Fire informó el 1 de septiembre que el incendio Plaskett en Big Sur había crecido a 27 580 acres, con apenas un 1 % de contención, superando al incendio Timber cercano y provocando el cierre de la carretera 1 y órdenes de evacuación. El fuego se originó el 24 de agosto, cuando KSBW reportó que el incendio Timber había quemado más de 12 600 acres y estaba al 25 % de contención, lo que llevó a ampliar las zonas de evacuación en el condado de Monterey. Posteriormente, KSBW indicó que el incendio había alcanzado casi 19 300 acres con un 21 % de contención y que la carretera 1 se cerraría para quemas de control, y más tarde informó que había crecido a 24 601 acres, obligando a cerrar 54 millas de la carretera y a emitir nuevas órdenes de evacuación.

El incendio Plaskett, inicialmente reportado por el New York Post con cerca de 6 000 acres y por The Guardian con aproximadamente 5 900 acres, también forzó evacuaciones y un cierre de 40 millas de la carretera 1. Según KCRA, el humo de ambos incendios se desplazó hacia el norte de California, generando avisos de salud.
