It appears yet another fire has begun near the Ridge Route. This time, closer to Reservoir Summit along I-5 at the Vista Del Lago exit. It is moving east and is, at this time, still out-of-control. The #EmigrantFire has the potential to burn the area along the Ridge Route between Reservoir Summit and Kelly’s Halfway Inn. We are hoping this fire doesn’t do any of that for many reasons. A “worst case” scenario for this fire would bring it into Liebre Gulch, which the Ridge Route runs alongside from Reservoir Summit to Sandberg.
Our Twitter account, @ridgeroute99, and our website will again be kept updated as this fire progresses.
So far, it looks like this one has been. Per USFS at 1615, fire was 220 acres at 5% contained. Per the KTLA video feed, the fire was nearly out and looked really promising.
So much devastation because of these fires – hope these can get controlled!
