The Park fire is burning along creeks that provide vital spawning habitat for California's spring-run Chinook salmon. Biologists worry the fire will cause harm.

Thick vegetation along the waters edge provides shade to keep the water cool enough to survive in warmer months. Salmon require 7ppm of oxygen and a pH between 6.5 and 8. Many spawning habitats have been destroyed or are threatened by development, water pollution, water diversions, and erosion and siltation.
In 2012, the Santa Clara Valley Habitat Plan reported that Chinook salmon currently spawn in the Guadalupe River and its tributaries, as well as Coyote Creek. Because Chinook spawn in early winter and juveniles may migrate to the ocean in their first spring, Chinook are able to use habitats that turn very warm or have low water quality in summer.
In some recent sleuthing by salmon scientists, more than 3.4 California hatchery salmon of all runs were marked beginning last spring by coded wire tags to follow their whereabouts.
