  Location of Jerusalem Fire in California | |
The Jerusalem Fire was a wildfire that burned in Lake County, California, during the 2015 California wildfire season.[1] The fire, which started on August 9, burned 25,118 acres (102 km2) before it was contained on August 25. As the fire progressed, inmate fire crews from Cal Fire played a vital role in fighting the fire with over 800 inmates on the line.[2]
On August 12, Cal Fire officials confirmed that the fire had merged with the Rocky Fire which was burning to the north.[3] Officials stated that with the northern edge of the Jerusalem Fire now touching the southern edge of areas already burned by the Rocky Fire the two incidents had merged.[4] They added that while the incidents would now both be operated under a unified command, they would retain their own names, acreage counts and containment dates.[4]
By August 15, many of the evacuation orders had been lifted from the area but returning residents were warned to watch for down power lines that still could pose hazards.[5]
