Road closed for fire

   UPDATE at 3:45 PM:  Per Cal Fire the "Tuttle Fire" is 100% contained.

UPDATE at 3:15 PM:  The forward progress of this fire has been stopped in the area of Wimbledon, where structures were threatened, according to CalFire #2 for the Tuttle Fire.

   More air support has been ordered.


 UPDATE at 2:50 PM: We just receive the first official report on the "Tuttle" Fire located in the 1000 block of Jeff Tuttle Drive in San Andreas. Structures on Wimbledon are currently threatened.

   Although we heard on the scanner that the fire
was about 60% encircled and would be soon contained, the Cal Fire report says that they have 0% containment, that the size is 5 to 10 acres and that there are 2 air tankers, a helicopter, 7 engines and one fire crew fighting the fire.

   UPDATE;  The fire is nearly contained, 60% line is encircling it.

   Gold Hunter Road at Mountain Ranch Road in San Andreas  is closed to allow space for firefighters in the area.

  Avoid the intersection entirely until Cal Fire can extinguish this fire.   The cause has not been determined.
