Fire that started at Pleasant Valley reservoir and is headed for Laws. All residents of Bishop, north of Highway 395 have been evacuated.
No visible smoke from my house. The fire start was approximately six or seven miles east of here. 2800 acres.

What a drag. I wonder if it started in the campground... It's popular with fisherman doing the year round thing on the Upper Owens.

I'm sure that it started at the campground
Acreage, with better mapping, stands at 2250.

Too many fires south of Crowley these last few decades. Lot of vegetation in that plain zone. Winds coming down from the north.

Thank goodness the fire here in February 2015 was not driven by north winds...wouldn't have a home (but 49 people lost theirs.)
This current fire is probably going to be proved beneficial, burning mostly grass alongside the Owens River. Opened up some fishing areas too. This fire burned from the west to east.
