Smoke from these fires is extending 65 nmi to the southwest out over the Pacific Ocean. There are also several smaller fires in southcentral Oregon that are producing light smoke that is mainly staying local to the fire. California: In northern California, throughout the Eldorado National Forest, there are fires producing light smoke that is moving slowly in a southerly direction. In southeast California there are fires spread throughout Imperical County that are producing light to moderately dense smoke that is moving directly to the east into western Arizona.
