why can't I find anything about the fire that occurred July 30, 2009 up near Prather and Auberry on Lodge Road and Whispering Springs
ReplyDeletePossibly the "Lodge" Fire - The "Lodge" fire broke out around 1 p.m. near Whispering Springs and Lodge, near Sierra High School.
ReplyDeleteSix engines were sent out to fight the 30 acre blaze; fortunately no one was injured in the fire and no structures were damaged.
Though the fire is listed as being 100% contained, crews remain on the fire line Friday, patrolling the burn, extinguishing all smoldering vegetation and reinforcing the containment line around the fire.
Meanwhile, Cal Fire officials are investigating the cause of the fire and are hoping for the public's help in doing so.
Anyone with information regarding the blaze is being urged to call 1-800-852-7799. - We do not cover every fire too many and not enough help.
