"In Big Sur the
Basin Complex Fire of 2008 continued to burn for another month, scorching
162,818 acres. After firefighters directed the fire into the
still-burning area of an earlier blaze, the combined Basin-Indians Fire burned 240,000 acres, making
it a contender for the state’s second-largest wildfire on record. Over
90 percent of the burn was within Los Padres National Forest’s unsettled
and wild
Ventana Wilderness."
