A wildfire in Inyo and Mono counties stimulated the evacuation Sunday night as it spread rapidly under strong winds and low humidity.
According to the California Forestry and Fire Department, vegetation fires were reportedly at 2:11 PM and Silver Canyon Road on Highway 6 north of Bishop.
Cal Fire Bdu said in an article on X that the fire jumped up the highway, threatening to “multiple structures”, about the post on X said: “aircraft, heavy equipment and other engines required.”
According to Cal Fire, at least 1,000 acres of fires burned as of 7:50 p.m. According to the Las Vegas National Weather Service, the fire moved east and northeast at a “fast speed”.
Strong winds and dry conditions hinder combat in the air. According to Cal Fire BDU, several aircraft were taken root due to “extreme turbulence.”
The weather service reported gusts of winds of 25 to 35 mph and relative humidity of about 10%.
As of about 5:30 p.m., mandatory evacuations have been carried out in parts of Beinuo Mountain and southeast Shan County, including the White Mountain Wilderness area. Highway 6 is closed.
According to the California Highway Patrol, an evacuation center was established at the Benton Community Center on Benton Highway 120.
