Last updated: --- The type of incident is Burned Area Emergency Response and involves the following unit(s) Channel Islands National Park. --- State: California --- Coordinates: Latitude: 33° 55 2 Longitude: 120° 5 10 --- NOTE: All fire perimeters and points are approximations. --- Incident Overview: Current Conditions:Beginning June 5, a team of Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) specialists will spend approximately one week on the island evaluating post-fire conditions and identifying immediate risks to public safety, infrastructure, and natural and cultural resources."Although the fire is expected to reach 100 percent containment today, significant hazards remain across the landscape," said Channel Islands National Park Superintendent Ethan McKinley. "The temporary closure helps protect visitors, employees, and emergency personnel while allowing specialists to assess fire impacts and determine what actions are needed to safely reopen portions of the island."Containment, according to park officials, simply means firefighters have established control lines around the fire's perimeter. Hazardous conditions can persist for weeks or months after a wildfire and may exist both inside and outside the burned area. Potential hazards include unstable soils, weakened trees, damaged infrastructure, falling rocks, erosion, and altered trail conditions.The BAER team will include engineers, ecologists, hydrologists, archaeologists, and wildland fire specialists. Team members will assess soil stability, watershed conditions, infrastructure damage, threats to natural and cultural resources, and other post-fire impacts. Their findings will help guide emergency stabilization efforts and inform decisions about public access.Closures:Santa Rosa Island is closed to all day and overnight use through at least June 30, 2026, due to the wildfire. All Water Canyon Campground reservations have been cancelled through this date and visitors have been notified by email. Campground reservation holders with bookings through August 14, 2026, have also been informed that the wildfire may affect their stay. If additional cancellations are needed, they will receive follow-up emails.Overnight and backcountry camping within the southeastern quadrant of Santa Rosa Island will remain closed for the remainder of the 2026 recreation season.  --- Source: InciWeb | http://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/cacnp-santa-rosa-island-burned-area-emergency-response

"The temporary closure helps protect visitors, employees, and emergency personnel while allowing specialists to assess fire impacts and determine what actions are needed to safely reopen portions of the island."Containment, according to park officials, simply means firefighters have established control lines around the fire's perimeter. Hazardous conditions can persist for weeks or months after a wildfire and may exist both inside and outside the burned area. Potential hazards include unstable soils, weakened trees, damaged infrastructure, falling rocks, erosion, and altered trail conditions.The BAER team will include engineers, ecologists, hydrologists, archaeologists, and wildland fire specialists. Team members will assess soil stability, watershed conditions, infrastructure damage, threats to natural and cultural resources, and other post-fire impacts. Their findings will help guide emergency stabilization efforts and inform decisions about public access.Closures:Santa Rosa Island is closed to all day and overnight use through at least June 30, 2026, due to the wildfire. All Water Canyon Campground reservations have been cancelled through this date and visitors have been notified by email. Campground reservation holders with bookings through August 14, 2026, have also been informed that the wildfire may affect their stay. If additional cancellations are needed, they will receive follow-up emails.Overnight and backcountry camping within the southeastern quadrant of Santa Rosa Island will remain closed for the remainder of the 2026 recreation season.  --- Source: InciWeb | http://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/cacnp-santa-rosa-island-burned-area-emergency-response

No growth is expected.After a wildfire, the National Park Service’s first priority is emergency stabilization to prevent additional risks to visitor safety, park infrastructure, and natural and cultural resources. Once the fire is out, the NPS begins longer-term rehabilitation, focusing on areas that are unlikely to recover naturally without intervention.The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program is the NPS framework for addressing these urgent post-fire needs. BAER’s purpose is to quickly assess burned areas, determine where emergency treatments are necessary, and implement actions that reduce threats to public safety, protect park facilities, and prevent unacceptable loss or degradation of natural and cultural resources.BAER teams consist of specialists such as hydrologists, soil scientists, engineers, biologists, vegetation experts, and archeologists. These professionals rapidly evaluate fire impacts and prescribe stabilization measures designed to protect park resources and the people who use them.Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) specialists will arrive on the island on June 5 to begin the assessment process. To learn more about the NPS BAER program, visit https://www.nps.gov/subjects/fire/post-wildland-fire-programs.htm. Background:On Friday, May 15, 2026, an aircraft flying over Santa Rosa Island in Channel Islands National Park reported a wildfire. National Park Service (NPS) staff already on the island confirmed it later that morning. The Santa Rosa Island Fire is located on the southeastern end of the island in remote and rugged terrain. This is a full-suppression human-caused wildfire and is under investigation.Closures:Santa Rosa Island is closed to all day and overnight use through at least June 30, 2026, due to the wildfire.

Firefighters will monitor the prescribed burn during ignition and the following days until it is entirely out.We use prescribed fires to reduce overgrown vegetation and protect local communities, infrastructure, and natural resources from wildfires. Please drive carefully and stay alert, as firefighters may be along the roadsides in the area, ensuring your safety and theirs. Residents may experience smoke during the prescribed burns. For more detailed information about air quality, go to AirNow online or download the app. When driving, slow down and turn on your headlights when you encounter smoke on the road.We will evaluate weather conditions in the hours before a burn begins.
