  • I don't remember fires there at all before. Did they have to move cattle out? I hope the spectacular stand of trees south is safe. I can't imagine there's much burnable up to the lighthouse so I'm thinking they've got a fantastic view but out of harm's way. Thanks for the report, Kate. I understand Yosemite's had a fire.

  • Report on the CHP dispatch of a fire above the Rocky Point Restaurant with "large flames and smoke" at 5:30 this morning. None of my friends in that neighborhood seem to have noticed it, though.

    • Nothing now, at 11:00 am. Did find this on WildCAD
