This is in the Wildwood subdivision
IC initially asked for an investigator, but that request was cancelled.
Declared contained at 1526 hrs… approx 12 acres.
3 water tenders will be retained for another 3 hours along with mop up crews.
This illustrates how long it can take fire crews to make it up steep, narrow dirt roads like Spyrock, and it doesn’t help to have young punk assholes driving pickup trucks fast, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.
This fire, which is BELOW me, could’ve been much larger, and wiped out MANY homes & families.
Thank you CAL FIRE I live next to my friend who lost his house we found both dogs and they are safe and for the young assholes you talk about they drive like that everyday no respect for others.
Thanks Kym can’t tell you how much your reporting and updates are appreciated
Glad we helped.
I agree Ftp. So sorry for the folks who have lost their home to fire. I pray no more homes or people will be lost during this monster fire season. Be safe everyone.
Many thx Kim.
