The Thompson Fire threatens the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve known for wildflowers in Northern California. Laura Drath from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife states that the reserve's bloom season has passed, lowering visitation due to summer heat.
Despite the Thompson Fire closing access to the reserve, Cal Fire's latest maps show the blaze nearing the area. Drath reassures that the plants should recover before next year's seasonal bloom due to the adaptability of grasses and wildflowers to fire.
