This is the number 1 fire in the United States at this time with 17,000 innocents in harms way.

Those of the 17,000 who haven't left the Illinois River Valley area yet are on a 30 minute warning basis. If the the evacuation is called, they have 30 minutes to get out of there.

Lets pray that the back fires will work, and that these 17,000 people didn't wait too long to get out of there.

Those with the magic pinger lists, please ping this.
