Sounds like chaos right now, but anyone know if an ICP has been established yet? Turtle Rock? Guard Station?
If you want to talk about monitoring vs suppression do it in this thread!!

That is the view from Hangmans Bridge looking back towards Poor Boy/Markleeville Peak.
Yes, I got a screenshot from Matthew Henderson’s live streaming.

As per Matthew Henderson, winds have dropped significantly and inversion layer has arrived. Fire has not reached Markleeville yet.

I’m pretty sure CalFire will be keeping a close eye on this fire. There is a tremendous amount of SRA (Fed DPA) in the Markleeville area.

Looking to confirm, evacuations of Markleeville and the surrounding areas such as Grover Hot Springs Campground? Have a large family camping trip tomorrow, want to make sure before I pull the trigger and cancel the trip. Thanks!
89 is Closed from the intersection of 88 to 395 so if you were planning to camp anywhere in that area, you are not getting there, so yes, it would be advisable to cancel your trip

Morcpt102, yes, all of Markleeville and surrounding areas such as Grover Hot Springs are under mandatory Evac. Hwy 89 is closed at Turtle Rock Park (if not at 88/89), and you cant go the back way as they have closed it at monitor junction also. I really dont see those evacs changing for at least a couple of days. Sorry about your trip.
And I live right next door, and was helping evac people last night, so promise it’s good intel
