Station fire has cost $37 million to fight; officials still assessing toll

The deadly Station fire has cost more than $37 million to fight, and officials are still assessing the toll to property, wildlife and forest facilities. The 154,000-acre blaze was 42% contain and no longer threatening homes. But it continued to burn into the San Gabriel Wilderness reports the Los Angeles Times.

Jody Noiron of the U.S. Forest Service said the fire had displaced animals that are thirsty and hungry and may be injured. She said residents should contact the proper authorities if they have wildlife in their yards.

Officials are also beginning to worry about erosion when the rains come. Even with the fire still going, they are clearing out debris basins.
