Fire Update...The Reed Fire Now 45% Contained At 120 Acres
San Andreas, CA...We just checked in with CAL-FIRE's Lisa Williams and the Reed Fire is now 40% contained and they are making good progress at 90 acres. CHP is reporting one way escorted traffic on Hwy 49 but it should be fully opened as smoke output continues to drop. Some air assets have been released as well. CCWD's Community Relations Manager Joel Metzger was able to get some great shots of the Reed Fire as it got underway. Some of photos taken from the CCWD Headquarters are below....
