Resource Advisors are working to locate, identify, and mark any resources that may be damaged by the fires burning within the SRF Lightning Complex and Redwood Lightning Complex or by fire suppression activities. These areas are sometimes referred to as "values at risk" and can be anything from residential houses and cabins, to water sources, to cultural and historical sites.
