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.”
