The Timber Fire has already destroyed one minor structure and continues to threaten hundreds of others in Monterey County. Evacuation orders and warnings are in place for areas near both fires, particularly in the steep and remote sections of the Ventana Wilderness and the coastal community of Plaskett. The challenging terrain and persistent wildfire weather conditions, including low humidity and gusty winds, are contributing to the fires' spread. Fire activity is expected to remain elevated, and containment percentages may fluctuate as suppression efforts continue. The emergence of the Plaskett Fire has added pressure to firefighting resources already committed to the Timber Fire.
