Ok, just for the record; Harris Road is off Hwy 49, about half way between Mariposa and Oakhurst, just north of Ahwahnee (spelled properly this time). It is North of the 41 split. It is not (yet) on Fed lands and the attack is aggressive.
It is rugged (steep in spots) terrain of mixed oak/pine, grassy woodlands.
The engines are doing house to house evac and evaluation. Roads are often um, minimal, in width and quality.
Strike teams are starting to arrive, starting to set up incident base...
Has all the sounds of going big and a long haul...
New order: 4 Division group Supervisors... that confirms it, going to go big.

=============================
Houses on Harris Road are evacuated, determined to be NOT defensible. Sounds like they're going to be lost.

The voices show some stress, along with the number of divisions already in place, this one has significant room for growth.
If that's the road I think it is, near vertical in spots, it'll be a dozer and air show.

====================================================
I heard a BUNCH Of units sent in from other agencies, I'm just starting to listen in on the actual fire. Sounds like Awanah area, which is near Yosemite.
MULTIPLE strike teams are enroute, I'll advise when I have more. The sheer number tells me 'it's going big' fast.
Harris Road is Division "Juliet", researching now. http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/2278/web
