Updated to approx, 25 acres, 2 spots ahead of the main fire. Working on getting the dozer access, may have to widen the current road… Scouting it out now
Was hearing talk of getting a helicopter in there but not sure of the outcome, nothing in the air as of yet

Kind of worst case scenario here… road in and out is a lane and a half at best on Rock Creek Rd… Mosquito road is barely passable by large pickup truck. County is currently building a new bridge on mosquito rd so it may be closed. Having apparatus coming in Rock Creek and panicked civilians leaving could be a recipe for disaster

Your Spot On. The brush and Timer are thick out in Swansboro county. Slabe Creek is steep with lots of rattlesnakes. The roads wasn’t made for the growth that has happened in that area. I hope they hit this fast and hard.

KCRA has live footage from overhead. Ugly country with continuous fuel. Ugh

Don’t see much fire history in that area going back to 2000. King fire of 2014 is the closest, runs close to this on the East side. But lots of room to grow
