I took a screen shot of the fire map from the news.

My son and I were looking at google maps and the roads that were closed. We guessed if the guessed the size of the area in question about 4,000 acres. Looks like we weren’t to far off.

Yes. When I want to bed. Oswego Road Allen Road, Stage Road, and parts of 679 were closed. That’s a large area.

Well that escalated quickly
