Ok heres what I know, I just got back from Indipendence (was helping with structure supression) The fire burned east to and got most of Indipendence Campground, and has jumped 395 around fort Independence, the hatchery is safe but one home was lost next to the hatchery, and one was lost in the south fork of oak creek, Eight mile ranch (8 miles north of Independence) lost out buildings, and some corals. the fire got as far north as blackrock/sawmill near Aberdeen. USFS is letting it burn west up to the crest. 30+thosand acres burn so far in less than 30 hours.
