Folks, I just came down from the mountain an hour ago. We had to recover a dealership loaner vehicle and we received a sheriff posse escort.
First off, all of Walker Rd and Big Bug […]
Key take away: They’re assessing structure protection needs in Walker and Potato Patch today.
Last night firefighters benefited from lower temperatures and higher relative humidity which reduced fire intensity. Fire is backing down slope in the ponderosa pine on the north side of Big Bug Mesa and had little activity in the brush. The fire did […]
This is a easier to use fire map.
Shows some growth up towards Big Bug Mesa this morning.
