At least four firefighters injured while battling Northern California wildfires
At least four firefighters have been injured over the last week while battling three wildfires in Northern California forests that are burning amid extreme heat in steep, bone-dry terrain, fire officials said Monday. One firefighter combating the barely-contained Green fire in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest sustained a blunt-force trauma wound while working on the fire line on Saturday, said Deanna Younger, a spokeswoman for California Interagency Management Team 10, the incident command team overseeing the fire response. Another firefighter suffered a heat-related injury on Sunday, she said. Both were treated at a hospital and released. Two firefighters fighting the Orleans Complex — two blazes burning in Del Norte and Siskiyou counties — also were stricken with heat illness amid temperatures that have topped 110 degrees in recent days, said Paul Meznarich, a spokesman for the multi-agency team coordinating the response to those fires. 'Everyone is very mindful of the heat effects,' Meznarich said. 'All things considered, everyone has been managing the heat well.' For those fighting the blazes — which, combined, have charred nearly 20,000 acres of forest since July 1 — the conditions have been extremely challenging, fire officials said. The remote areas are steep, thickly-forested and bone-dry. 'It is very, very dry right now, and we're still around 100 degrees,' Younger said of the Green fire region on Monday morning. 'We are not getting good humidity recovery at night. The Green fire — burning on the eastern side of Shasta Lake near the Pit River between Interstate 5 and Highway 299 — was sparked by lightning the evening of July 1, according to the U.S. Forest Service. It had burned 11,643 acres and was 5% contained as of Monday afternoon. On July 1 and 2, the Shasta-Trinity National Forest saw more than 3,100 lightning strikes, which sparked more than two dozen fires, most of which were small and quickly extinguished by firefighters who had been 'positioned throughout the forest in anticipation of wildfires caused by lightning strikes,' according to the Forest Service. 'The Forest Service was able to catch all of them except this one,' Younger said of the Green fire. 'That's because this one was so inaccessible.' Firefighters are gaining access to some areas that are unreachable by vehicle or foot by taking boats to more accessible areas and climbing in with their gear, Younger said. Fighting the blaze by air, she added, has been complicated because there is a thick tree canopy, and water cannot reach the fire burning in vegetation close to the ground. Planes also have not been able to fly amid heavy smoke, fire officials said. More than 1,400 firefighters were assigned to the blaze as of Monday. Two so-called Super Scooper airplanes — each of which can hold 1,600 gallons of water — arrived from Canada on Sunday, according to the Forest Service. The Super Scoopers, which require a mile of open water to refill their onboard tanks, are expected to use multiple arms of Shasta Lake, which fills with recreational boaters during the peak summer tourist season. 'The physics involved in the contest between a fully loaded plane and recreational watercraft are unfortunate at best,' the Forest Service said in a statement asking boaters to avoid areas where firefighting aircraft were operating. To the west, two fires — the Butler and Red fires — were being managed by the same incident command team as the so-called Orleans Complex fire. The Butler fire, which was reported amid a lightning storm July 3, had burned roughly 8,156 acres in the Six Rivers and Klamath national forests and was completely uncontained as of Monday afternoon, Maznarich said. The fire was burning between the tiny towns of Orleans and Forks of Salmon, the latter of which was under an evacuation warning on Monday. It was burning within the 2024 Boise Fire, the 2020 Salmon Fire, and the 2013 Butler Fire footprints, according to the Forest Service. Firefighters, some patrolling on boats, were working to keep the fire from jumping the Salmon River because areas east of it had not recently burned and had more dense vegetation, Maznarich said. The 116-acre Red fire, which was 50% contained, was burning in the Siskiyou Wilderness in Del Norte County, Maznarich said. It started July 6.

Who Is Rachel Brosnahan's Husband, Jason Ralph?
Anyone else watch Superman over the weekend and immediately become obsessed with the cast, what they're like in real life, and more specifically/nosily, who they're dating? Same, so let's kick things off with Rachel Brosnahan who has been in an extremely low-key relationship for years. Here's what you (urgently, if we're being honest) need to know about her husband Jason Ralph. Which you are WELL aware of if you're a fan of The Magicians, the best show ever (I will not be hearing opinions to the contrary). On top of The Magicians, Jason has starred in Younger. Jason starred as Mike Carr during season 5 and season 6, and he told Entertainment Tonight of working with Rachel, "She's just the best, and I just feel very lucky to have gotten to be kind of like a fly on the wall. Who gets to see the person that they're married to, and love, command a set like that, and be a leader? I felt very lucky to be there." Florida-born Jason grew up in Texas, but went to college at SUNY Purchase, where he cofounded the theater company Strangemen & Co with his friends. The pair first crossed paths while working on I'm Obsessed With You: But You've Got To Leave Me Alone. Town & Country wrote in 2022 that all the actors lived in a dorm together and that Rachel "was so committed to her role that she wouldn't date him until after filming" and she noted 'It was a hard no for me. Stay away, stay away. Okay, fine.' Nothing was ever confirmed, but they showed up to the 2018 Emmy Awards with rings on their fingers so everyone put two and two together and assumed they'd gotten married that year. However, Rachel told People (via Refinery29) at the SAG Awards in 2019 that "We've been married for years and been together for even longer. We had a good laugh when the news came out that we had just got married, like 'Happy six-month anniversary, honey!'" As Rachel put it to People, 'I've been quite private about my personal life for a few reasons. The first being that it's just that…personal,' she said. 'Jason and I also noticed early on that, while we are both the leads of successful television series, he has almost never been asked about our relationship while I have been asked on almost every red carpet I have walked in the last 2 years. We both find this double standard problematic and frustrating and opted to redirect those conversations to our work.' That said, she shouted out Jason in her Best Actress win speech, saying 'Jason, I love you. I wouldn't be here at all without you. Thank you.' And Jason has said some sweet things about Rachel over the years—including to Entertainment Tonight in 2023 when he gushed "Being the lead of a show is like a really, really difficult job, and she does it with such grace and humility. And there she is and so beautiful." In conclusion: LOVE THEM!
