My friend keeps his airplane at the airport, and some of the hangers have been burned up. I haven't heard yet if his plane is okay.

Estimated at 6150 hectares.

10,300 hectares

Estimated at 13,100 hectares now. Probably has potential to surpass the 2003 McLure fire in size.

The fire is moving north into the beautiful Loon Lake valley. This is causing more evacuations and alerts... http://cfjctoday.com/article/579602/loo ... fire-grows

For those wondering the fire causing evacuations & alerts in and around Clinton is the Ashcroft fire. There isn't a new fire.

You're right, they should have been torches. So what happened?

Looking at the cache Creek Ashcroft fire on the modis radiative satellite map this morning. Looks like the fire doubled its size overnight. Even looks like fire around loon lake

Took this satellite screenshot last night showing the explosion of that fire...
