Fresnobee.com and the Merced Sun-Star have the details.
It was 6 businesses in a strip mall in the middle of town that burned. The fire was reported about 8:30PM, and was blowing and going by the time all the fire equipment got there. Within about an hour, they had nearly stripped Mariposa County of their PCFs, and were trying to get Merced County engines and Merced and Madera County PCFs to go up there for relief.
