Burning in oats and oaks, and as it proceeds up canyon, will be getting brushy, depending which side of
old stage it is on. If it is east of White River proper. that puts it in Tail Holt country, steep, and no engine access.
This is east of Old Stage, north of M56 and up white River. Old stage runs north and south from Porterville to Ft. Springs… …
Per River IC 300 acres with firing op in progress, should be around 400-500 acres after firing op.
Per Cal Fire this morning…
