The Creek Fire was first sparked on Friday evening and has exploded to 166,965 acres as of Wednesday evening with 0% containment. At least 365 structures in Fresno County have been damaged or destroyed, and more than 5,000 are threatened. Officials say 30,000 residents of Fresno County and 15,000 residents of Madera County have been evacuated.
The fire started near the communities of Shaver Lake, Big Creek, and Huntington Lake but has quickly spread. CAL FIRE officials say they do not expect to have fire contained until October 15. Scroll down for a list of evacuation orders in Fresno, Madera, and Mariposa counties.
That is 20% the size of Rhode Island
To me, that fails to explain why CA hasnt pulled more personnel from other states
Demoncrats released prisoners that usually work the fire lines for COVID-19. So they’re rioting in cities around the country instead of fighting fires.
They have a map at the source article. It’s getting too close to my home.
I have been trying to find a dynamic or animated loop type map to get a better idea of how fast the fire is now moving, but, to my considerable surprise, none seems to be available.
Of course, you have a more direct worry. Stay safe!
