Wallow Fire is Growing Fast!

This morning when I first checked the fire web site it said 18,000 acres, then a bit later it jumped to over 40,000! This fire isn't laying down at night like the Rodeo fire did, and is advancing fast! We didn't have smoke here in the valley today, but I could see it to the south and east of us, a big plume of it! Alpine was put on a 24 houe pre-evacuation notice that changed to mandatory this afternoon, and then suddenly Nutrioso was added, they said that when it got dark and they could check on the fire with infrared, it showed that the fire was closer than they thought! Gary was called out this evening to Alpine, hope they can save the town!
