As we’ve been reporting on Facebook, there is a 2.5 acre fire off of Wamblee Trail. Evacuations have been ordered, see below. A Type 2A air support has been requested, multiple resources are on the fire. See our Facebook Page for video by Greg Kwalkarf.
Just spoke with Elk Creek Fire Deputy Chief Ware and he was optimistic that they could get this contained - they have a lot of support on this from the air and ground. We will keep you posted.
