Originally: Scanner traffic indicates a vegetation fire near Early Ranch Road and Thomas Road in the Salmon Creek area. At this point, they are referring to the fire as the “Early Ranch Project.” As usual, details are scarce but we will update when we find out more information.

Just got back from look see from Bear Butte saddle. Some white smoke. Chopper and tanker on scene. Fire is trying to move north up canyon but what breeze there is is coming from north west. Doesn’t look like its going anywhere. The troops are on it.
Looks like the earlys are trying to make a half million on there project to me WTF
Looks like industry standard to me.
Spend a day doing a dump run, Jesus..
Hasn’t anyone ever heard of a string line and square??
I guess these guys were getting stoned during geometry, lol.
What is this a competition to see who uses more water??!
Early to bed early to,….oh never mind. The Early’s sold the ranch into subdivision a long time ago. So no,, they have nothing to do with the mess there.
nice mega grow
Mega grow is so 2012, that’s called a family farm now.
Nice hoop houses! Hope you got water stored for fire as well as your plants!
I know this guy he bathes in buds and juices them to have enough juice throughout the winter!
