Evacuation WARNING in the following area, per Placer County Sheriff:
- Applegate Road on the north
- Boole Road to the river on the east
- The North Fork of the American River on the south
- Bell Road at Musso Road on the west
Very first fire for me down in the confluences. 1990.
Late June with Captain Bud Wood. Burned to the top and inland somewhat till sundown (when canyon winds slacked). What we didnât have
Exceptional Drought and all the low fuel moistures.
But we also didnât have VLATâs (just tanker 73 and 75 old style) firehawks (just old 68 ugly and 205.)
Fire stayed on east sides of the canyons. As they say I am cautiously optimistic tonight.
