House didnt burn!!! Shed is toast, rabbits are dead. Chickens are alive. I did a LOT of brush clearing and burning this spring, pretty sure it saved our house. Have not made it home yet. Fire started today, went up the hill so phuckin fast. Scary stuff. I hope my neighbors house are okay.
Thanks for the good wishes, all. Stay safe, clear your property.

Yeah, F10. Worst I've ever seen! We just walked the meadows north of 395 and couldn't see the Whites, the Sierras, or even the Druids. Completely socked in with smoke. Gah. Mammoth looks gnar as well. We may NOT go up there to climb today.

The "official" word is that 120 is closed for firing operations
Means -- Backburn operations

This is what I rode through with both side burning and smoke obscuring the road.

Pmac good to hear your place survived, sorry for the rabbits!!! Your clearing no doubt saved the day, we continue to clear but have the equivalent of an atomic bomb down in the canyon below our property.
Dang that Ferguson Fire....
You can see the back fire Warner mentioned up on 120, how is Yosemite West doing? Looks like it is either gone or completely surrounded, terrible.
Safe passage all.....

Reuters:
A fast-growing California wildfire that has already forced thousands to flee their homes and shut down a large national park surged overnight into Saturday, as fatigued firefighters battled gusting winds.
The blaze in Mendocino County, about 90 miles (145 km) north of San Francisco, had spread to cover a total of 201,471 acres (81,500 hectares) by early Saturday, after increasing more than 25 percent in size from Friday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said. It was 34 percent contained.
The Mendocino Complex Fire is now the state's largest fire at more than two-thirds the size of sprawling Los Angeles, and has forced the evacuation of nearly 16,000 residents and destroyed more than 100 structures.
Seems like CalFire needs some remedial maths work. If the fire grew 25% overnight how could it be 34% contained unless it was like 50% contained yesterday?

Because it advanced away from already secured containtment lines. It never breached those lines so they didn't loose any containment even though it go much larger. They never had containment on the area it advanced into.

Cal fire lists two different mendocino fires, most places group them as all one big mendocino complex fire.

Edit: posting at same time ^^^^
ah.. that explains some of it. The River Fire and the Ranch fire total approx 200,000 acres, which make up the mendocino complex. One is 50 percent contained and one is 27 percent contained.
