From MCOES: “River Fire progressing southeast along the ridge. Following areas are under Evacuation Warning: Southwest of Parker Rd, Northwest of Coral De Cielo Rd and Rana Creek, Southeast of the intersection Chualar River Rd and River Road, Northwest of Limekiln Rd/Creek.“

Here is a pretty good map of what is happening. The orange dots are the “older” sections of the fire, and the red dots are the newer. This will give some idea of direction it has been growing.
