Incident: Harding
Released: 2005-08-25 07:00:00
Sierraville….The Harding Fire, in the Tahoe National Forest, started approximately 3:00 PM on August 24, 2005. The fire began near Harding Point, approximately 3.5 miles northeast of Sierraville and then burned towards Antelope Valley. At 7:00 AM the fire was approximately 1,000 acres with 25 percent containment. The fire started in grass, shrub area, then moved into the timber.
Over 300 personal are working the fire, including handcrews, helicopters, airtankers, engines and watertenders. The cooperating agencies include US Forest Service, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Sierra Valley Fire Protection District #1, Sierraville Fire, Sierra City Volunteer Fire Department, California Highway Patrol, Caltrans and other local agencies and contractors.
The rate of spread was initially quite rapid. As the nighttime temperatures decreased and the humidity rose the rate spread slowed to moderate. Crews worked hard through the night and fresh crews arrived this morning. Winds pushed the fire north along the ridge through the night. The concern for today is winds shifting to the west. The focus for the day is firefighter and public safety.
