Fresno Fire says multiple people have died

a “Casualty” could mean injured

Updated info on MCI event at FYI: rescue efforts were unsuccessful, military pilots tried valiantly to land but heavy smoke conditions prevented a safe approach, another effort will be made shortly to evacuate the trapped people in Lake Edison and China Peak using night vision.

The Chicago fire was on the same date and lost 300 people, 1/4 of Peshtigo, yet it is supposedly more famous.

Thinking of my friends at Vermilion Valley Resort and Muir Trail Ranch. The #CreekFire is scary. Fresno sheriff emphasized at public meeting tonight that folks at Edison were safe sheltering there, hope there wasn’t a drastic change.
