Posted by: John_Hamilton on 04/26/2013 02:04 PM
Jenny Lind, CA...Crews are working a structure fire where a two story home is fully engulfed in the 7300 block South Burson Road. Please use caution and expect delays in the area....Update as of 2:18pm...CAL-Fire's Lisa Williams said there has been extension in to the vegetation and about 1 -2 acres have been burned at this time. No word on containment as of yet. Helicopter 404 has been sent from Columbia to help with the fire.... Update as of 2:31pm...The wildland portion of the fire has just about been contained and they are making progress on the structure as well. Inbound units are still continuing however...Update as of 2:54pm...The vegetation portion of the fire was called contained at 2:37pm and at last word they have a good handle on the structure portion. Helicopter 404 has been released and should be just about back to Columbia now....
Editor's Note: With most fires multiple agencies including Local, State and on some fires Federal resources will be working a fire. Since CAL-FIRE's Tuolumne - Calaveras Unit headquarters in San Andreas handles dispatch for Fire and Medical aids (With the exception of incidents on USFS Land) you will see their name most of the time as the contact point for information on incidents. This is not to diminish the contributions and in some cases where local resources make up the bulk of the resources on an incident. Just thought we would pass this along...Looks like it will be a busy fire season yet again this year. If you do photos of an incident please send them to News@ThePineTree.net...
We would like to Thank Dave Webb for the early season shots of 404 doing some bucket work this afternoon. Lets be careful our there everyone. This year is shaping up to be a dry one... (Update...Calaveras County Supervisor Darren Spellman sent in a photo as well and it is enclosed...)
