Haigh Fire Incident Update, 130 Acres, 10% Contained, 275 Personnel, 22 Engines, 12 Crews, 4 Airtankers, 4 Helos, 6 Dozers. A Marijuanna Grow Or Grows in Fire Area
Coulterville, CA...The Haigh Fire is burning on Hwy 49 and Haigh Road north of Coulterville. Calfire MMU's Karen Guillemin-Kanawyer confirmed that marijuana grows were in the area but it is still unconfirmed if the origin of the fire was near a grow pending investigation. The fire is burning in heavy brush. Extreme temperatures and dry conditions allowed the fire to burn very actively. The fire fighters and fire crews will be the front line overnight and tomorrow morning Air Attack, Tankers and Helicopters will be back dumping water and retardant on this fire in their attempt to keep the growth in check....
We would like to thank our fire coverage sponsors for their support during what will no doubt be a very busy fire season.
