Tom Christoph posted this message to the Tevis BOG list last night. Jackie
“I talked with American River District Ranger Jan Cutts today and
she said the two fires on the north side of the Foresthill Divide have joined
and that another 5000 acres burned in the past 24 hours and that it doubled in
size. Bill Pieper just spoke with Ed Moore of the USFS within the past
couple of hours and the report is the fire is now burning about 1 mile from
Robinsons Flat and they do not know if Robinsons can be saved. The Cedars on Soda Springs Road
are also at risk. This fire blew up with a wind shift on Tuesday night.
We are watching this tragedy unfold and pray things turn for the better
with a forecasted weather shift in the next 24 hours.”
