Santa Ana winds, low humidity and heat fueled multiple Southern California wildfires, prompting evacuations and leaving tens of thousands without power. The Bryson Fire in Malibu burned about 147 acres and was 61% contained by Saturday evening; evacuation orders and warnings had been lifted, no structures were damaged, and one firefighter was injured. The Norte Fire near San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano burned about 570 acres, damaged or destroyed six homes and injured two firefighters, with evacuation orders still in place in Saturday-morning updates. The Henderson Fire also burned on Camp Pendleton, while crews stopped the Peak Fire’s forward progress in Azusa. The fires stirred renewed anxiety among Malibu residents still coping with losses from earlier destructive fires.

The Oregon Supreme Court heard arguments over whether to uphold a jury’s finding that PacifiCorp was liable for four 2020 wildfires, after an appeals court ruled that the trial judge’s instructions improperly applied evidence across the class. The ruling could preserve billions of dollars in awards for fire survivors or overturn the verdict and force a new trial; plaintiffs defend the jury’s decision while PacifiCorp says the instructions were prejudicial.

British Columbia Fires Send Smoke Across Western Canada and US

NOAA reports smoke from numerous British Columbia fires spreading across western Canada and into the Pacific and parts of the U.S.; reports also note smoke from fires in Washington and California or isolated Idaho fires. Light smoke and heavier industrial-source plumes were observed over Mexico and nearby waters, while cloud cover limited smoke detection across much of the contiguous U.S.
