Dense forests, open grazing fields and rugged volcanic rock formations mark the rural landscape. In the last week, a KQED photographer spent three days with Gaines as he waited to return to his property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A retired Oakland Unified School District gardener, Gaines, who friends know as Kenny, was inspired to buy his land by fellow Oakland cowboys who purchased land outside the Bay. After seeing an ad for the property in the Oakland Tribune and visiting, Gaines said he fell in love. “I knew exactly where I wanted to be.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The area is known for its hot, dry summers and history of wildfires. The Finley Lake Fire scorched Gaines’ property in 1990, one year after he purchased it. The fire claimed ornate manzanita trees, some that were hundreds of years old, as well as California junipers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was heartbroken, but it came back. It opened [the land] up, actually. Because it was really too thick,” Gaines said, referring to the brush that covered his land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaines sold his one-bedroom house in the Brookfield Village neighborhood of East Oakland and moved to Paynes Creek in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He spent most of his early years living on a farm in Bakersfield, working alongside his parents to pick cotton and vegetables. His first real paycheck was from working cattle at a nearby ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaines knew of the potential wildfire dangers and took precautions to keep his animals safe. He trained his sheep to come in when he blew a whistle, and he created defensible space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I live in a heavily wooded, heavily brushy area. And this is just part of it,” he said. “I like it better than living in Oakland. I have my solitude. I’m right on Battle Creek Canyon. I don’t have to see anybody if I don’t want to. I really don’t have any neighbors. I love it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11998372\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11998372\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240727-ParkFire-30-BL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240727-ParkFire-30-BL.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240727-ParkFire-30-BL-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240727-ParkFire-30-BL-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240727-ParkFire-30-BL-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/240727-ParkFire-30-BL-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A fire burns next to charred ground along Highway 36 near Gaines’ property on July 27 after the Park Fire swept through the area the evening before. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After leaving his property, Gaines went to a trailhead parking lot about 15 miles away.

The creeks have abundant cool water, and as of Monday, the fire was not affecting flow or temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What this fire represents, if it were to consume the habitat in the upper watersheds, is a degradation of that habitat. It’s just another hit to the species that’s already struggling,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these fire-prone landscapes, low-intensity fires can be beneficial. Some sediment in the water can help hide juveniles from predators. Downed trees in the stream can create fish habitats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Johnson and others are concerned about the heat and intensity of the fire. If the first rain events send mud and ash flooding into the creeks, the eggs or juveniles could be smothered by the sediment or suffocate if oxygen levels plummet.

Recent studies show that the one-two punch of climate change and severe fires can change \u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2208120120\">which plants return\u003c/a> to a fire-scoured region.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Denuded slopes are primed for erosion, and the loss of tree cover could allow these vital, cool stretches of river to warm in the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At this point, my greatest concern is the fire moving any further up Mill and Deer Creek. A hot fire blowup could have devastating ecological consequences for the watershed health of these streams,” he said. “The watersheds and the salmon are irreplaceable resources in the state of California, and they are almost gone.

Instead, firefighting efforts could pose a direct threat to the waterways, including the use of fire retardant, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fs.usda.gov/rm/fire/wfcs/documents/2021%20EcoRA-Retardants-Nov2021-final.pdf#page=%5B13%5D\">which is toxic to fish\u003c/a>, though experts say it’s a necessary tradeoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The important thing right now is to just try to stop it on the head, so it doesn’t burn up these really precious watersheds,” Brown said.\u003cem> “\u003c/em>The next few days will be pretty telling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most severe damage could come later this year — if \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2020/10/california-wildfires-unsafe-drinking-water/\">heavy rains wash ash, chemicals and sediment from the burn scar into the creeks\u003c/a>.

The dams cut off \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/water/2024/03/california-salmon-restrictions-ban-2024/\">critical upstream spawning habitat, shifted the timing of flows\u003c/a> and degraded downstream waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, nearly all of the Central Valley’s spring-run populations are gone. The remaining ones are largely confined to the northern Sacramento Valley, where Mill and Deer Creeks provide some of the last high-quality, high-elevation habitat for the species, as well as for \u003ca href=\"https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/west-coast/endangered-species-conservation/california-central-valley-steelhead\">threatened Central Valley steelhead\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both are \u003ca href=\"https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/west-coast/about-us/sacramento-river-basin-california\">tributaries to the Sacramento River\u003c/a>. Born in Lassen Volcanic National Park, Mill Creek flows through forests and meadows before dropping through a steep rock canyon into the Sacramento Valley, where it meets the Sacramento River. Deer Creek emerges near the summit of Butt Mountain, flowing 60 miles before it reaches the valley floor and stretches another 11 miles to join the Sacramento River near Vina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Deer and Mill Creeks have always represented this exceptional habitat piece for salmon,” Johnson said. “Unfortunately, despite that great habitat, the fish populations are really struggling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px\">the number of returning adults was so low that scientists described it as \u003ca href=\"https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/Archive/state-and-federal-fish-agencies-take-urgent-actions-to-save-spring-run-chinook-salmon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a cohort collapse\u003c/a>—\u003c/span>meaning there were too few to successfully produce a new generation. The catastrophic declines prompted state and federal wildlife agencies to begin \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/uc-davis-safeguard-spring-run-chinook-salmon-broodstock\">a conservation hatchery program at UC Davis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program was in response to the “threat that this species could blink out because nothing would return in subsequent years. So the captive brood population is like a little insurance plan or bank account of genetic material,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so few returning adults, a hit to the next generation from the Park Fire could be catastrophic. Johnson said \u003ca href=\"https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2021/7/13/dixie-fire/updates/697a2a02-5e2a-4454-af9d-2107e4e08f7a\">after the Dixie Fire in 2021\u003c/a>, he saw the first rains of the season turn \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/lavo/planyourvisit/visit-after-dixie-fire.htm\">Mill Creek black with runoff\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The adults returning this year are from that Dixie Fire cohort, and we’re looking at preliminary very low returns,” Johnson said. Though he doesn’t have the evidence yet to back it up, the fire “could be a contributing factor.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State wildlife officials warned water regulators in February that fish \u003ca href=\"https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/bay_delta/docs/2024/2024.04.16-revised-cdfw-ltr.pdf\">have been in steep decline since 2015 (PDF)\u003c/a> — in part \u003ca href=\"https://wildlife.ca.gov/Drought/Projects/Deer-Creek\">because agricultural water diversions\u003c/a> from the lower rivers frequently drain the creeks. They urged the State Water Resources Control Board to set minimum water levels that must flow through the creeks to protect fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historical water diversion and water use practices have long been out of balance with ecological needs on these critical watersheds,” Tina Bartlett, regional manager of the northern region, wrote to the water board.

However, preliminary estimates for this year remain very low, prompting alarm from scientists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a really bad year last year. We had a really bad year this year,” said Andrew Rypel, director of the Center for Watershed Sciences at UC Davis. “Say we wipe out this cohort. Salmon are on a three-year lifecycle. That’s starting to look like the anatomy of an extinction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/category/environment/wildfires/\">wildfire\u003c/a> is not an imminent threat to adults who are in the creeks right now, Johnson said. The creeks have abundant cool water, and as of Monday, the fire was not affecting flow or temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What this fire represents, if it were to consume the habitat in the upper watersheds, is a degradation of that habitat. It’s just another hit to the species that’s already struggling,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these fire-prone landscapes, low-intensity fires can be beneficial. Some sediment in the water can help hide juveniles from predators. Downed trees in the stream can create fish habitats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Johnson and others are concerned about the heat and intensity of the fire. If the first rain events send mud and ash flooding into the creeks, the eggs or juveniles could be smothered by the sediment or suffocate if oxygen levels plummet. Chemicals could degrade the water quality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that these hot fires could reshape this wild, remote landscape. Recent studies show that the one-two punch of climate change and severe fires can change \u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2208120120\">which plants return\u003c/a> to a fire-scoured region.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Denuded slopes are primed for erosion, and the loss of tree cover could allow these vital, cool stretches of river to warm in the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At this point, my greatest concern is the fire moving any further up Mill and Deer Creek. A hot fire blowup could have devastating ecological consequences for the watershed health of these streams,” he said. “The watersheds and the salmon are irreplaceable resources in the state of California, and they are almost gone. This hurts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11998224/park-fire-jeopardizes-californias-iconic-spring-run-chinook-salmon","authors":["byline_news_11998224"],"categories":["news_31795","news_34165","news_19906","news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_34332","news_3531","news_4463","news_1421"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11998225","label":"news_18481"},"news_11997987":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11997987","meta":{"index":"posts_1716263798","site":"news","id":"11997987","score":null,"sort":[1722376912000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"hundreds-of-pge-poles-damaged-in-massive-park-fire-as-crews-work-to-restore-power","title":"Hundreds of PG&E Poles Damaged in Massive Park Fire as Crews Work to Restore Power","publishDate":1722376912,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Hundreds of PG&E Poles Damaged in Massive Park Fire as Crews Work to Restore Power | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Hundreds of PG&E power poles and other equipment suffered extensive damage as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11997808/northern-california-man-accused-of-starting-massive-park-fire-charged-with-arson\">the Park Fire\u003c/a> swept through a vast area of rural Northern California, leaving thousands of people without electricity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the utility said an all-out effort by crews in the field prevented more widespread destruction of its infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wildfire that began last Wednesday just outside the Butte County town of Chico burned 450 power poles, PG&E spokesperson Paul Moreno said.
