225 Acre Wheats Fire Starting to Close Trails Near Spicer Reservoir
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.....
