Donnell Fire Continues to Grow, Growth Heading into Alpine & Upper Calaveras. Now 23,824 Acres
Pinecrest, CA...Last night structure protection continued along Highway 108 including backfiring operations east of Douglas tract and around Baker Station. Crews also worked around the Bennett Juniper completing containment lines and allowing backfiring operations in the area, increasing protection around this legacy tree. Today’s red flag warning combined with critical fuel conditions may create the potential for rapid fire growth. Yesterday air support dropped 42,000 gallons of retardant along the Highway 108 corridor continuing structure protection in these areas. Fixed wing and helicopter support will continue today.
