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.

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

Hard to keep up. The Bear and Claremont have merged. I think I’ll ask mod to change title- make it live thread. Ok with you? Your thread- your call. Or, start a new one?

Update on the #DolanFire burnover this morning at Nacimiento-Fergusson.

Now 14 (not 15) firefighters involved. THREE were transported to a Fresno hospital for injuries related to burns and smoke inhalation. One person’s condition is reported as “critical.” Two are “fair”
