More resources are en route.

A serious fire has begun in the Knight Mountain area of the Stanislaus Nat’l Forest and is threatening structures.
It has begun rather explosively with some reports that the convection column has already ice-capped out with pileus clouds.
This has happened already with the size of fire appearing to still only be under a few hundred acres but it burning in heavy forest fuels.
It is reportedly running and crowning and spotting ahead of itself.

There was a fire on the little peninsula down at Pine Flat Lake a couple of weekends ago. About eleven fire trucks came screaming up from Sanger and from Cal Fire. A couple of helicopters showed up too. Good thing was they had the lake water right there.
