Edison is a special lake.
If the store burned I hope they at least got the huge Brown Trout mount out, it was priceless, IMHO.
That road...
I believe the area around Lake Edison, and the people there, are relatively safe. Here’s a map of the area and the extent of the fire.

Lake Edison is the lake about 15 miles northwest of Huntington Lake/Lakeshore. And I believe the fire is moving north. The people are trapped at Lake Edison and need to be airlifted because the road (Kaiser Pass Road) has been cut-off by the fire at Lakeshore.
Bass Lake is to the west/northwest of Lakeshore, and is preparing to evacuate. There are lots of cabins and resorts around it.
NFS closed all access to the national forests in CA at 5:00pm today.
Of course, anyone in the national forest right now is take a big risk.
ESPECIALLY if they are in the back country. That’s foolhardy.

Wait. Isn’t that near the Paradise fire 2 years ago?

Yes- Oroville is about 20 miles south of Paradise. That whole area was hit hard in November 2018.
