    That section of the I5 is beautiful and just coming off wildflower season there must be an amazing amount of kindling to feed that fire.😥

    It’s amazing how many times reporters misspeak and it makes it into the channels YouTube cut. Fire spanning thousands of miles. It is less than 400 miles to SF.

    The last update was 2 AM at 10,500 acres. We don’t need footage of sagebrush. We need to know where the fire is now, six hours later. It must be 12 to 15,000 acres by now.

    "this fast moving fire spanned over thousands of miles...." Man... That is one fast moving fire! I'm contemplating whether or not I should call my sister and her family back on the east coast, to get ready to evacuate.

    Gorman and California City are open desert motocross riding areas. There is nothing there but dirt. . No buildings , no humans except riders riding and / or camping the night. They went home so no one will be hurt and no homes will be burned. .Now it won't burn again this summer.
