Reminder: 2017 Sulphur Fire Anniversary
When: Wednesday, 9 October 2019
Where:Clear Lake - Lake County
Organizer: Kim Patrick Noyes
Description: The Sulphur Fire, which is part of the Mendocino Lake Complex, started at approximately 11:59 p.m. on October 8, 2017. The fire originated along Sulphur Bank Road off Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks, near the Clearlake city limits at Clearlake Park. The fire quickly spread to the Elem Colony and into the city of Clearlake. The fire blazed for 19 consecutive days till it was fully contained on October 27, 2017.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation by the California Public Utilities Commission and Cal Fire. Notably, PG&E’s management of its electrical infrastructure and its maintenance of high voltage wires and poles is being evaluated, and information has emerged showing that PG&E may be at fault. In 2015, PG&E was found to have caused the Butte Fire in Amador County which claimed two lives, burned over 70,000 acres and destroyed over 921 structures. The cause was a poorly maintained tree that came into contact with a power line.
