Quote from: Max Rockatansky on June 20, 2024, 11:23:25 AMThat rain and subsequent flooding might have been the best thing possible that could have happened.  Sierra Blanca Peak seemingly stopped the fire from reaching downtown Ruidoso.  It seems most of what has burned was in the neighborhoods to the north.  Shame, I always loved working and staying there.

Ruidoso is definitely a hidden gem.

The Basin Fire in eastern Fresno County is one I'm watching. That's nearing 14,000 acres and getting close to the John Muir Wilderness.

Hoo boy, and that's not super far from the 2018 Camp Fire, America's deadliest in recent history. Relevant to roads, this is threatening the old Bidwell Bar Bridge, California's first steel suspension bridge and one of the oldest remaining bridges in the western US (even if not in its original location).

I feel as though the Bidwell Bar Bridge and Mother Orange Tree end up in this scenario every other year.  The Basin Fire is mostly spreading west beyond Balch Camp and Blackrock Road.  The movement east seems to have slowed once it got to the deeper reaches of the Kings River Canyon. The smoke for the Basin Fire and Fresno Lightning Complex Fire has been pretty tame so far.

The French Fire northeast of Mariposa, CA has blown up since Thursday evening. CA 140 leading to Yosemite is closed, much of Mariposa has either been evacuated or is in shelter in place. This is quickly becoming a fire to watch.

Interstate 84 in Oregon closed between Pendleton and La Grande due to a wildfire: https://www.nbcrightnow.com/news/eastbound-i-84-closed-from-pendleton-to-la-grande-due-to-wildfire/article_b6e52f80-539c-11ef-9d78-5b7ede78d596.html

Last week it was closed between Baker City and Ontario due to the Durkee Fire.

I-80 between Truckee and Reno is currently closed due to a wildfire at the CA/NV state line. Started as a car fire that spread to vegetation. This a couple of hours after a fire started behind the Truckee Safeway. Since the transmission line serving Truckee and the NW shore of Lake Tahoe runs through the fire area, most of eastern Nevada and Placer Counties, CA currently lacks power and will likely continue to be without until the fire is under control.

If anyone wanted to see a recent burn scar, the Reno Meet tour is currently planned to pass through this fire. Hopefully it will be out by then, else Reno has a big problem on its hands.

We've had some fires started by vehicles over the years here, too.  Do people seriously not properly maintain their vehicles?
