That's what I hear on the scanner. Fire described as massive. They're calling for a full evacuation of the entire area.

Re: Fire Philpot and 33

It's burning pretty fast. The winds up here are really going hard. Haven't seen air support yet. Our place is about a mile as the crow flies from the start location

Air support is on the way. Have been asked by KFD to hit it with everything they've got. Hopefully you're upwind of the fire...
