This is not a news site and I’m not equipped for or interested in providing up-to-the-minute bulletins. But since I have conveyed some fire info recently, it’s only fair to offer an update. The North Fire in the San Mateos has apparently burned itself out at something over 42,000 acres, while the Puertecito Fire, a new blaze 15 miles south of Magdalena, was at 19 acres and 0% containment a couple of days ago. Just four firefighters were on scene as of last news, which seems to indicate Smokey is not especially concerned about this one.
