Fire Incident Reports:
There is a federal fire reporting blog where you can drill down to
current info on any fire in the U.S.
http://www.inciweb.org/ This will include maps of the affected area.
If a fire is managed by California Dept of Forestry you can get current info
from
http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_current Sort by date
started, and put all in number of items per page. Current fires are at
bottom of list.
8/29/2007. I am listing the phone numbers within each district or agency in the order that seems most logical to me. For example, the Cleveland Descanso District's phone number is answered by people who are in the area and who are familiar with the PCT. On the other hand, the Forest Supervisor is in an office in San Diego. Determine the area you are in and seek the appropriate listing. Susan
