Update on the new #JerusalemFire
Jerusalem Fire, Lake County, California
This fire is off Jerusalem Grade Road, 7 miles northeast of Middletown in Lake County, and about 12 miles south of Lower Lake.
This area was already under mandatory evacuation for about 11 days and they were just taken off the mandatory list for maybe one and at the most two days ago.
Fire broke out yesterday afternoon about 3 pm and quickly jumped to over 3,000 acres by last night.
As of today August 10, 2015 8:23 am 5,000 acres have burned.
Facebook member Adam Newell has posted a lot of photos as his house in on the road that has been evacuated. He has a good many videos. Understandably he is using some cuss words under stress.
UPDATE MONDAY, 10 AUGUST 2015 18:25 ELIZABETH LARSON Lake County newspaper Link for the #jerusalemfire Just before 7 p.m. Monday, Cal Fire reported that the Jerusalem fire, which began burning in the Jerusalem Valley area northeast of Middletown on Sunday afternoon, had grown to 6,000 acres, with no containment.
Here is today's update Jerusalem Fire Incident from CAL FIRE:
