^^^Bummer, it's starting early this year.

After a very dry winter they've one in the Kenai and at Willow, AK where a number of dog
teams got burned up. I don't know why somebody couldn't at least let them loose.

Guess a power pole caught fire in the Corrine lake area just below North Fork. North Fork has been out of power for over an hour. Gunna be a bad year.

This thing looked pretty threatening an hour ago, but the bombers have done a hell of a job. Pretty sure my buddy lost his house, though he doesn't know for sure. I'm in pre-evacuation, but looks way better now. This thing was spotting around two miles.

Thanks Reilly, those firefighters kicked ass today.
Try to post some bomber pics later. Think the first scare of the season is done though.

I presume your pic is of the Corinne Fire which is very near North Fork.
Still going strong as of 8:20 this morning.

Order for residents south of Corrin Road to Kerckoff Lake
Order for residents on Road 225 between Lark LN and Mammoth Rd
Advisory for the community of Cascadel Woods for residents on Italian Bar RD from Mammoth to the County line.
Advisory on for residents on Road 225 from Rd 274 to Lark Lane

Road Closures:
Road 222 (Powerhouse Rd) from Road 200 to Corrine Lake Rd (open to residents only)
Road 222 (Powerhouse Rd) from Corrine Road to county line
Road 225 between Italian Bar RD and 233
Residents should remain cautious of fire personnel and equipment working in the area.

Fire burning at a moderate rate of spread. There continues to be a threat to the North Fork community. Access to the fire is difficult due to steep terrain. Firefighters are experiencing extreme fire behavior conditions due to drought and low fuel moisture.

Not much activity on this thread........that's a good thing.

Fire this afternoon in El Dorado County, SE of Placerville at Bucks Bar Rd and Buckaroo Trail. CalFire's taking it seriously. They've just dispatched several engines and crews from Santa Clara County. Friends of ours live about 3 miles up the road.
Fire was lightning caused.

"Firefighters were forced to momentarily halt air operations after they spotted a drone,
San Bernardino County fire officials said."

Ban'em in Banning, Victorville, Auburn, and in general.
Let'em all go to blazes if they can't control their obsession.

Thanks for posting that first one, neebee. Glad no one was killed.
