800 acres. Sounds like they are talking about a big box reaching out towards the mendo forrest boarder due to lack of staffing on the fire.

AA talking to IC about evacing Hwy 20 from East Rd, to Blue Lakes.

Edit: From H20 East over to Witter Springs

IMT team 2 assigned to both MEU fires: Ranch and River Fires
