Telegraph Fire Moving North - 40% Contained

The Telegraph Fire has switched direction and is moving north into the Stanislaus National Forest tonight even as evacuees are being allowed back into their homes in some areas. The fire is now 40% contained and has so far destroyed about 25 homes and out buildings. Thankfully most of the injuries sustained have been minor and heat related with no casualties.

A big thanks to all the fire fighters out there kicking ass to get this monster fire under control. You guys rock!
