This afternoon (9/23/21) I received a call from Chief Norman of the Tulare County Fire Department. Prep work continues on Mineral King Road and crew numbers are increasing. Their goal is to keep the fire north of Mineral King Road; he said if they can do that then we will be in good shape.
Chief Norman also said that he will call me again on Saturday with another update; however, if a significant weather event occurs or he sees any major changes he will call me before so I can share any pertinent updates with all of you.
Please keep in mind that I am not a fire expert; I would simply like MKPS to be able to assist sharing accurate, up-to-date, and pertinent information. If you have a question please email me at lisa@mineralking.org or by phone at (559)799-4009. I will keep a running list so that when I check in with Chief Norman I can have those ready to ask.
Lastly, I would like to thank everyone fighting this fire, we are incredibly grateful for the hard work and collaboration.
Thank you,
Thank you for continuing to post this type of information. I check this site regularly (along with InciWeb, CalTopo, Jon Wallace's daily reports, etc.) and appreciate the continuous updates as I'm sure many others do. Our cabin is in West Mineral King (Faculty Flat) and we are grateful for all the efforts from everyone involved in battling this fire and protecting our community. Thanks again!
