Tamarack Fire Grows to 39,045 Acres, 1,069 Personnel, Fire Edging Towards State Line |
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/19/2021 10:35 PM
|
Markleeville, CA...Current Activity: Efforts to use aircraft today get a more accurate acreage and location for the fire perimeter were unsuccessful due heavy smoke and afternoon thunderstorms that brought a small amount of rain to the area along with lightning. Wind from the thunderstorms increased fire activity, moving the fire to the northeast toward the California-Nevada state line and the US-395 corridor. Crews are working to prevent the fire from impacting US-395 and the surrounding area.
