Things are looking better for the SQF Complex Fire, now 50% contained as of this morning (Monday, September 28). The north flank of the fire is located about 9-10 miles south of the Mineral King Valley, and is progressing very slowly due to the terrain. A Silver City resident sent this note today: "I just received a text from a firefighter friend who was sent up to Mineral King over the weekend. He said things were looking really good; the fire is staying away from us. This is great news! On a side note, this was his first trip up the hill. He is smitten with the beauty and wants to go back."
The Mineral King Road is still closed to all traffic from the Oak Grove Bridge to the end of the road at East Mineral King, but we're hoping for access soon so owners can prepare their cabins for the winter.
