Crews Firing Conley Creek Drainage Near Blocksburg Tonight, Do Not Be Alarmed
Laura Coleman from Cal Fire writes that her agency will be
“conducting a firing operation at 11pm tonight to contain the lightning fire in Blocksburg. The location is west of Alderpoint Road and below the cemetery, down Conley Creek Drainage. This will produce smoke and a glow that will be well visible from Blocksburg. I want the public to know this is a controlled firing operation of 40 acres to contain and clean-up the lightning fire.

I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you. To the brave muthafuckas fighting all this and Kym for being so on point. Looks grave from southeast of Fruitland. Saw several plumes near Fort Seward today.
God bless all your efforts! You’re amazing and I know you’ve still got a lot of long hours ahead of you! Thank you
