hey there say, khanom, are you able to post a map area, showing the newest oakhurst fire, please, when you get a chance, :)
i can also, look, but this faster internet, still seems to staul out, a few times and disconnect... :(
i think, too, it is the moving/animated ads, at some sites, that does some of this, or my browser?
thanks for any map, there... :)

The King Fire North and East of Pollock Pines has exploded to 2000 acres as of 25 mins ago.
This one's looking Really Nasty.

with lots of development
on the rim.

From the Twitter feed, the Courtney Fire (east of Oakhurst) also appears to be blowing up.
USFS has been called in. They are attempting to get the choppers out of the way for big fixed wing tankers.
Major evacuations along rte 426, 222 and 274 (Miller Landing)
It's right on the S shore of Bass Lake now.

Courtney Fire
Now 320 acres
Tulare County fire teams on their way.
With sundown coming, the air assets will return to base till tomorrow.
Going to be a long night.
Oddly enough, no teams have been sent out of Santa Cruz/San Mateo/Santa Clara counties since this AM.
I guess they can't spare any more.

I got some good shots on my other camera, the helicopters were doing their best to save the Forks. Not sure if they did.
Yes high traverse, that is Shuteye.
