San Andreas, CA...We just spoke with Barbara at CAL Fire and it has been a busy afternoon so far. They are working 7 fires at this time. The largest is 75-100 acres near the Hetch Hetchy Power Plant. This one is in a fairly isolated area and is burning primarily grass. Fire crews seem to have the upper hand. There are a couple that are about a 10th of an acre or so that they need to observe. There are a couple of small fires in the Dorrington / Big Trees Village area. One in the Boards Crossing and another is in the Sierra Parkway Area. These are the ones they are most concerned about. These fires are not currently threatening any structures but they have to potential to do so. From the sound of Scanner Chatter they are engaging everything fast and hard right now. We will post rolling updates every 1/2 hour. We have enabled open comments on this post if anyone wants to post on the ground observations. 6:50pm Update....We just spoke with Barbara at CAL-Fire and No Structures are being threatened and there are No Road closures at this time. Continuing Updates Enclosed...
