Shaver Lake, CA…Current Situation: Fresno County: The fire actively burned throughout the night with short range spotting and active runs. The critical fuels were completely consumed in portions of the fire. Active crown runs were observed in timber stands in the higher elevations. Madera County: A strong inversion is expected to continue moderate fire activity on the west side of the fire by holding smoke over the area which providing shade and a buffer from the gusty winds at higher elevations. Hand crews and equipment operators are making progress constructing containment line from the San Joaquin River northwest toward Castle Peak. Dozers continue to work to reduce vegetation and burnable materials in the vicinity of structures at Cascadel Woods and to the north along the western fire flank. The Red Flag Weather Warning has been extended through 8pm Wednesday; high temperatures, low humidity, and high winds will persist in the area, creating extreme fire conditions. The Madera County Sheriff continues to safely evacuate citizens, enforce evacuation notices, and maintain road closures near the southwestern fire front to protect the public. Please note the temporary evacuation center for Madera County has relocated to Mariposa County Fairgrounds.<\/p>\n
