Yes. Fire captain and inmate crew went to shelters. All ok, minor injuries.
I sent you a map from the Fed briefing. Short version: they're in trouble. If it crosses 50, an entire new ballgame and it'll take months to end. A HUGE amount of acreage on that side of the road.
They're hauling the injured FF out now, stokes and low angle extraction... concious but damaged. Don't know what ST, don't ask.

News story said 16 ff's had to deploy shelters today there as well. Nasty terrain and I sure hope nobody else gets hurt!
