Oliver Fire Report

This is raw data from the firefighters that are working on the Oliver Fire in Ponderosa Basin.
I took this info from the Daily Report, written by the Forest Service. If you want to scan for more information on other fires in California, this seems to be the best place for a raw report.

Daily Situation Report - Forest Service

I will continue to monitor the Oliver Fire as best as I can. Please remember to keep these people in your prayers.

Below is the information I took from the Forest Service website.

This is just some more information that I gleaned from a site called W.I.S.E Firetrack.

As of now, the fire appears to have grown from 220 acres to more than 2000 acres, with only 5% containment. That's only 100 acres contained, out of 2000.

I'll add more as I find it.

Found some.

This blogger is far better at describing things than I am.
