Just got back from shopping. Shot a couple of photos near McSwain Dam / Merced Falls area (other side of Hornitos Road bridge which crosses the Merced River) with the DETWILLER FIRE smoke in the background. Goes to show how deceiving these things can be……thought it looked better than yesterday but it was obviously heading for Mariposa with the wind.
Leanne just advised (and I confirmed on the CALFIRE INCIDENT website) —-the town of Mariposa is under mandatory evacuation (as well as other residential areas in the vicinity. So I don’t get something wrong…..here are some LINKS to news on the DETWILLER FIRE and current evacuations:
<CALFIRE INCIDENT WEBPAGE>
Update: Detwiler Fire 19,600 Acres With More Evacuations Underway
My best to you and yours with special prayers for all those escaping and fighting this extremely dangerous fire, Lew
