Colorado Fire Rages Through Steep Terrain | Fresno News

A fast-spreading wildfire in Mariposa County, California, has exploded from 10 to 250 acres in just hours, with zero percent containment as it races toward the Merced River drainage. Firefighters face steep, rugged terrain that hampers access, despite deploying over 120 personnel and heavy equipment. Forty-five structures are under threat, with evacuations underway and Highway 140 closed between Briceburg and the Bug Hostel. The blaze, reported September 1, continues to grow — and conditions on the ground remain dangerously challenging.
