thanks for reporting on this one. I’m up spy rock in mendo, and have been watching this fire slowly grow. And no one is even mentioning it. good job
This must be where the jets I saw today were dumping retardant, it wasn’t Mad River, they were turning back to Fortuna before that.
Evacuations? There is nobody in that country.
it’s heading for the R-wild horse ranch
Yeah, nobody is up there except 62 fire crew. But there is private land up there and folks like to trespass to hunt on it. I was sure shocked to see a map of my land on the front page this AM.
I believe this is the fire that forest service intentionally set
This fire was caused by lightning.
Weed is burning every were .
Agrheed lol
More than anything else, I appreciate the effort put into keeping fire information as current as possible. Even if the fire is not in my backyard, it is a threat to people I know.
>”it’s heading for the R-wild horse ranch”
Eh? That ‘ranch’ is over by Platina. Miles away.
