Good thing the fire is not moving much. Barely any growth over past week.

Problem with SM is that everybody thinks they need to exaggerate when they post something. Just like seeing a fire at night. Estimate acres and divide by 5…
Edit: Hundreds of vehicle to me indicate 200+, turned out to be 50 (which is nothing to sneeze at).
Edit #2: Seems the fuel tender tanks had been filled with the incorrect fuel from a distributor
15:25 UPDATE FROM THE IMT:
We do not have a fuel disaster taking place. We did have a fuel issue that has been resolved.
Thank you,
