The Electra Fire Full Morning Update, 3,034 Acres, 0% Containment, 450 Structures Threatened
Jackson & Mokelumne Hill, CA...The good news is temps are moderate and they are throwing the kitchen sink and the dishes at this one. Right now there are 1,225 personnel assigned to the fire along with 128 Fire Engines, 14 Helicopters, 39 Hand Crews, 33 Dozers & multiple air tankers will be dropping retardant on fire today. There is continued threat to critical power infrastructure. Steep rugged terrain is making access challenging for fire crews in the South Fork of the Mokelumne River drainage, however firefighters continue to construct control lines. Approximately 100 recreational visitors and PG&E employees were safely evacuated from the Electra Powerhouse last night at approximately 9:30 p.m. The control objectives are to keep the fire east of Hwy 49, south of Hwy 88, North of Jesus Maria Road and West Hwy 26 and Railroad Flat Road. CAL FIRE urges the public to adhere to evacuation warnings and orders and avoid the area to allow access to additional resources.
