Firefighters from multiple agencies fight the eastern flank of the Alisal Fire along upper Refugio Canyon on October 14, 2021, as it continues to burn Thursday afternoon at near 16,801 acres with 1306 Firefighters on scene. Aircraft will be up making drops throughout the day in support of ground resources putting in line and defending structures. The fire stared Monday afternoon and grew quickly driven by sundowner winds as it burned through Tajiguas Canyon to the 101 freeway forcing closure of the 101 freeway. Mandatory evacuations are in place but winds have subsided Thursday. The 1955 Refugio Fire that consumed 80,000 acres is the last time much of the area had burned. The historic Reagan Rancho del Cielo which sits near the top of Refugio Canyon could be threatened by the flames as the fire moves into Refugio Canyon. (Photo by Al Seib/Rex Features/Shutterstock)

A sanderling covered in oil is treated at the Wildlife & Wetlands Center in Huntington Beach on October 7, 2021. Environmental crews are spreading out across Huntington Beach to clean up the damage from a major oil spill off the Orange County coast that spoiled beaches, killed fish and birds and now threatens local wetlands. The oil slick is believed to have originated from a pipeline leak, pouring 126,000 gallons into the coastal waters and seeping into the Talbert Marsh. (Photo by Allen J.
