MocFire Has Grown to Over 300 Acres & Jumped Roadway, New & Old Priest Grades Now Closed and Evacuation Advisory for Big Oak Flat. (Updated)

Moccasin, CA…Unfortunately the MocFire is developing into a very real, threatening incident. For those new to fire season here locally as a rule of thumb when a fire jumps to the east side of Hwy 49 the potential fuels for the fires rise exponentially. The lower elevation grass fires while deadly serious usually don’t have the fuel loads to develop into prolonged campaign style fires such as the Butte or Rim. Evacuation advisories for Big Oak Flat and Old and New Priest Grades Now Closed. From CAL FIRE TCU…#MocFire [update] The Fire is 300 acres and moving to the East with a critical rate of spread. Near Hwy49 and Hwy 120 Moccasin (Tuolumne County)
