What's burning in California: Wolf and Juniper fires among over a dozen in 72 hours
Fire season has begun with a bang in California, where more than a dozen wildfires have ignited since Saturday — the largest of which are in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, authorities said. Officials warn that the fiery events of the last three days are a prelude of what is to come over the next few months as the state moves from an usually dry winter and spring into what is expected to be a hot summer and fall. And although the majority of the ongoing fires are in the Southland, crews are also staging in Northern California, where a red flag warning is in effect in several counties through 8 p.m. Tuesday. Here is the latest information on the current fires burning across the Golden State, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The fast-growing Wolf fire erupted Sunday afternoon, quickly growing to more than 2,400 acres and forcing evacuations and road closures near Banning. Fire crews had established 30% containment by 5:45 p.m. Monday. Three hundred fire personnel, four helicopters and 70 engines continued to work to get a handle on the blaze, which began in the area of Old Idyllwild Road and Wolfskill Truck Trail. Evacuation orders remained in effect for most areas of Banning and Cabazon south of Interstate 10 on Monday. A map of the communities affected by the orders is available here. An evacuation shelter for affected households was established at Hemet High School, at 41701 E. Stetson Ave., with an animal evacuation site at 581 S. Grand Ave in San Jacinto. The Juniper fire ignited around 11:30 a.m. Monday in an unincorporated mountainous area of Perris, prompting evacuation orders and warnings in the nearby communities of Camelot Hills and Good Hope. On Monday evening, evacuation orders applied to 633 people and 261 structures, with evacuation warnings affecting another 2,507 people and 1,579 structures, according to a Cal Fire spokesperson. Fire crews had halted forward progress and reached 30% containment of the 688-acre fire by 5:45 p.m. Monday. Twenty-four engines, two helicopters and a total of 183 firefighting personnel continued to combat the blaze in steep hillside territory. Crews were set to remain on scene overnight and into Tuesday to bolster containment. A "care and reception center" for affected families was established at Citrus Hill High School, at 18150 Wood Road in Perris. A map of evacuation areas can be found here. Fire crews reached 40% containment on the 483-acre Lake fire, burning near Silverwood Lake, on Monday evening. The fire ignited around 4 p.m. Saturday near State Highway 173 and Cedar Springs Dam Trail. An evacuation warning remained in effect in the hillside zones north of Silverwood Lake and south of the community of Lugo, while the Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area remains closed to the public. A map of affected areas is available here. Crews stopped the forward spread of the fire on Monday morning and remained focused on strengthening control lines in areas where the fire was still active. Crews reached 25% containment on the 223-acre Sims fire in Lassen County on Monday evening. The fire ignited around 1:30 p.m. Monday along McAfee Road in Herlong, near Honey Lake and the California-Nevada border. Sixty personnel and one helicopter are assigned to the blaze. Fire crews got a strong handle on the 103-acre Mindy fire in a remote area of Riverside County on Monday, prompting the lifting of regional evacuation orders. The brush fire ignited shortly before 4 p.m. Sunday near Decoursey Road and Minday Lane, north of Aguanga. The fire was 80% contained by Monday evening. Fire crews reached 100% containment on the 83-acre Mandalay fire on Monday. The blaze ignited in a brushy area west of Riverside Municipal Airport shortly before 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Fire crews reached 100% containment on the 83-acre Smiley fire on Monday. The fire started by the intersection of San Timoteo Canyon Road and Smiley Road south of Redlands on Saturday. The 26-acre Kenyon fire ignited in Shasta County on Sunday; the 26-acre Quarry fire ignited in San Joaquin County on Monday; the 24-acre Perch fire ignited is Siskiyou County on Monday; the 20-acre Marysville fire ignited in Yuba County on Sunday; the 20-acre Llano fire ignited in San Luis Obispo County on Saturday and is fully contained; and the 19-acre Cable fire ignited in San Bernardino County on Sunday.

Headache Common After Hemorrhagic Stroke, Often Overlooked
MINNEAPOLIS — Roughly half of patients experience headaches following a hemorrhagic stroke, with more than one third reporting severe pain — yet headache management remains a largely neglected aspect of post-stroke care. 'What we found is that headaches are far more common after hemorrhagic stroke than people might think. For many, the headache lingers even for months-years.' study investigator Bradley Ong, MD, a neurology resident at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, told Medscape Medical News . Patients often mention headaches while recovering from hemorrhagic stroke, but post-stroke headache tends to not be a focus of care, Ong added. The findings were presented at American Headache Society (AHS) Annual Meeting 2025. Knowledge Gap 'So much of stroke research focuses on the acute event, like how to stop the bleeding, and reduce disability, but I kept thinking about what happens after,' said Ong. Ong added that when he looked into the literature he was 'struck by how little we know about post-stroke headaches — particularly following hemorrhagic stroke.' This aspect of the patient experience has been largely overlooked, with surprisingly little research available on post-stroke headaches, particularly following hemorrhagic stroke. The researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, identifying 24 studies published through December 2024. The databases included MEDLINE (1964-2024), Embase (1947-2024), and Central (1996-2024). In all there were data on 4671 individuals who experienced a hemorrhagic stroke and were assessed for acute and chronic post-stroke headache. The majority patients were women (58.2%) living in Europe (70.8%) with a mean age of 56.9 years. Results showed 47% (95% CI, 39%-87%) developed a headache after a hemorrhagic stroke, with 56% of patients (95% CI, 42%-97%) developing an acute or subacute headache within 30 days post-stroke, and 39% of patients (95% CI, 30%-48%) developing a chronic headache more than 3 months post-stroke. Patients developed severe headache in over one third of cases (36.9%; 95% CI, 14.4%-67.0%), which was defined as a Numeric Rating Scale score ≥ 8. Among patients who developed post-stroke headache, 48% experienced it following a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), while 38% developed it after an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In both cases, post-stroke headache often progressed to a chronic, persistent condition, with nearly 38% continuing into the chronic phase, the researchers reported. 'In aneurysmal SAH, most headaches had a migrainous phenotype; in contrast, most headaches in ICH had tension-type features, which ranged from moderate to severe in intensity,' the researchers noted. Little Clinical Guidance The likelihood of developing a post-stroke headache after a hemorrhagic stroke was influenced by several factors. Male sex was associated with lower odds of headache (pooled odds ratio [OR], 0.82; 95% CI, 0.68-0.99), while a prior history of headache significantly increased the risk (pooled OR, 4.83; 95% CI, 2.10-11.10). Although the researchers observed considerable heterogeneity among the studies reviewed, the meta-regression analysis showed no statistically significant differences related to the risk of bias, region, population source, or human development index. Headache does not get the same level of urgency in neurology as other symptoms such as weakness, speech problems, or seizures. 'But for patients, these headaches are very real and can be debilitating. We just haven't done enough to listen to that part of their recovery,' said Ong. More prospective studies are necessary to improve the understanding of headaches, which frequently receive insufficient attention in research. Ong emphasized that treating headaches in stroke patients is challenging because common over-the-counter medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often unsuitable for those who have suffered a brain bleed. 'Long-term follow-up data would also be incredibly valuable, especially since a lot of these patients continue to struggle with headaches well after discharge,' said Ong. Clinicians should be more intentional in including headache treatment as a part of stroke rehabilitation, he added. 'Right now, there's very little guidance on how to even define post-stroke headache, and that makes it harder to study and treat. Most of the existing research also comes from a few regions in the world, so we're missing a truly global picture. We need better, more consistent data from diverse populations to really understand how common this is and what treatments might help,' he added. More Data Needed Commenting on the research, Robert G. Kaniecki, MD, founder and director of the UPMC Headache Center in Pittsburgh, noted that the study's size and scope were strengths. He added that the data are valuable because they specifically focus on patients who have experienced hemorrhagic stroke and subsequently develop headaches. 'Most prior papers have addressed headaches following stroke of any kind — hemorrhagic or the more common ischemic nonhemorrhagic stroke cases,' Kaniecki told Medscape Medical News . The finding that acute or subacute headache affected 56% of patients was surprising — Kaniecki said he had anticipated a higher rate — while the 39% prevalence of chronic headache was also unexpected, as he had predicted it would be lower. One limitation in the research was that the studies were mostly published before the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) were developed and post-stroke headache was defined with specific criteria, Kaniecki said. More data on patients with preexisting headaches are also needed, Kaniecki said, and he is interested in knowing how many patients in the study with post-stroke depression ended up developing headaches. 'Post-stroke depression is common, and headache a frequent symptom reported by patients with depression,' Kaniecki said.
