Mandatory Evacuation order for South of Nacimiento, Prewitt/Alms Ridge Area.

Just got new maps from John Chesnut, shows the fire’s progression to the south. Well established in Hare Canyon.

And here is the north end. Looking pretty good.

6 pm — PIO confirmed this evening that the hard closure will be somewhere between PV Station and PV Center. He wasn’t quite sure about the exact location. Residents on Alms Ridge have been notified, signed waivers, and identified next of kin. So far, only one family has come out this way.

Fire and Evacuation Zone. The fire location is from early am, I believe? I think John said they fly over about 3 am and 3 pm, and then it takes 4-5 hours to publish the info. So too early to be this afternoon’s flight
