Leaving Lone Pine

Meanwhile, a hiker died this weekend in the Santa Monica mountains due to extreme heat. Farther east near Azusa, the #bobcatfire is burning 0% contained and has consumed ~5,000 acres

More from our drive out of Lone Pine, which is in between two fires right now, this afternoon. The #SQFComplex is burning in Tulare County and the #CreekFire is a bit farther west in Fresno county
