Valley Springs, CA…The Gann Fire that started this afternoon has exploded to an official CAL-FIRE estimate of 1,400 acres but by now it is probably closer to 2,000 acres and by morning 2,000 will likely just be a memory. Multiple areas now extending over to Hwy 49 are now in place. Let’s pray they have good efforts against it before things heat up again tomorrow. Details are below… #GannFire
