Fire Update...Ramsey Still at 250 Acres, 20% Containment, Moderately Active |
|
Posted by: John_Hamilton on 08/12/2012 07:22 PM
|
Cottage Springs, CA...We just checked in with the USFS Dispatch Center in Sonora for the latest on the Ramsey fire as they get the last loads of retardant dropped to shore up the lines for the night. The fire is still being held in the 250 acre range but it is nibbling at the retardant lines and trying to break through. The risk is that with the lack of air drops that it could break through some lines overnight. Since it is down in the canyon an inversion factor can come into effect according to the USFS. This is where even as the temps cool out of the canyon the temps can remain high down in the canyon and keep the fire active. Air Attack 440 from Columbia will resume flight over the fire at 8am in the morning. Helicopters and Air Tankers will resume efforts shortly after. On the fire are 8 engines, 5 hand crews, 1 dozer, plus a water tender and other misc personnel overnight.
   
We would like to thank James J. Shinnick & Bill Minkel for the latest photos!! We have added them to the incident slideshow.... |

225 Acre Wheats Fire Starting to Close Trails Near Spicer Reservoir |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/09/2012 10:32 AM
|
Bear Valley, CA..Current Situation: The fire is consuming red fir within the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness of the Stanislaus National Forest sending up occasional plumes of smoke. Advance of the fire is impeded by dispersed granite rock formations and light winds. Plans include switching out fire crews and establishing indirect fire lines. A fire camp has been established at the Spicer Reservoir Group Campground with a boat ride and a 20 minute hike to access the northern perimeter of the fire. The Forest has closed several trails in the area (see attached map for details). Because legislation restricts the use of mechanical devices in wilderness areas special authority has been granted to use chainsaws and water pumps. The very steep and rugged isolated terrain is a cause of concern for firefighter safety. A Type 3 Incident Commander is in-charge of the response. About 225 acres have burned. Possible thunder storm clouds could develop over the next few days.....
Additional Details and Larger Map is Enclosed... |

Posted by: thepinetree on 08/09/2012 12:23 PM

Arnold, CA... The fishing on the highway 4 corridor has been excellent. Make sure to be fire safe at this time of year as it is very dry out in the woods. You must obtain a fire permit for your campsite if you are not using an improved campsite. Make sure you purchase your license before heading up here as we are the only store to sell licenses from Arnold up as we do experience problems with our machine occasionally. Trout plants in our area for the week of July 23, 2012 include The North Fork of the Stanislaus, White Pines Lake...
