The Ralston Fire Sept 2006

California is currently up to its neck in wild fires. The Ralston Fire is still out of control near the Middle Fork American River. Containment is only at 35% and 6,780 acres have burned as of September 12th and continues to be a difficult one to contain. CDF, California Department of Forestry and its 1,361 firefighters are battling steep terrain, inaccessible areas and winds whipping up areas making this a battle against nature.

Mosquito Ridge Road access is currently closed and rafting outfitters have had to reschedule or modify their Middle Fork trips to accommodate this latest blow from Mother Nature.
