Title: Two wildfires east of Pinnacles
Post by: waldo on June 04, 2018, 07:00:38 PM
Two big fires are active east of the Park. Fifteen miles or so? Smoke clouds are above 6,000' and anvil-shaped. Winds look like they're blowing in a good direction.

For the anvil look, on JC's 60th we can sport orange party hats on our foreheads.

The two fires, Airline and Eastern, are a long way from the Pinnacles, but are only at 50% each contained.  The closest is near the junction of Hwy. 25 and Coalinga Road.  Let's hope the fires do not go north.

The two fires are now 94% contained.  I think Pinnacles is safe, but be careful with fire and objects capable of making sparks.
