Fire has blown past the 36, firewhirls reported crossing the highway
Running crown fire north of Hwy 36 near Bernard Lodge. 36 closed for all fire traffic due to conditions
I am pretty sure I am triangulating that correctly. The black diagonal is the channel crossing to the west. Appears to be flaring up good on the cam.
That is correct S of the Chester Airport by a few hundred yards
Every local FD and a few LEO went down First or down the runway about five minutes ago.
The only positive is that the wind is in the north.
Stay safe my friend. That is picking up some serious heat on your doorstep.
Fire is pushing West down 36. Deer Creek Meadows is going to be used as an TRA
that was quick…wind is definitely picking up
Requesting to shut power off to Chester. Also requested LE to Evan civilians still left and establishing a TRA at the school.
Power to Chester confirmed shut off. Trying to pick up spots to limit impact to the community.
Fire approaching 36 & 89
