Understanding what has happened in the past will help us understand
what may happen in the future. Here is a map of the large fire history
in Northern California. Notice that in Siskiyou County, from a line
exenteding due south from the Oregon Border to the corner of
Trinity-Siskiyou and Shasta counties, if we look east we see no fires
south of Mount Shasta. This map tracks large fires, which tells us real
potential of a future large wild fire in the area.
