Looks like SLU just toned for Strike Team 9340C heading to Fresno
The fire east of the Flash fire is being called the East Fire and is 2 to 3 acres at the top of the ridge
The East and Flash fires are burning on the âuphillâ side of 180 between Cove Road and Hills Valley Road. This area hasnât burned in a very long time and is typically âfed offââŚexcept this year.
As I drove through the area just a bit ago, there was a 3rd fire on a hillside roughly southeast of the 180 / Hills Valley intersection. Area had received some precip but now the the sun is out againâŚ
TUU is sending a code 3 engine strike team to FKU.
