Earlier this week the Rankin Fire in Wind Cave National Park erupted. Several agencies have been involved in fighting the blaze since Tuesday. The fire has since spread to the northern region of the park. The fire is burning in steep, rocky terrain. The weather is expected to be colder for the next few days, and snow will be accumulated in higher elevations.
The fire is estimated to be at least 400 acres in size. The fire has caused evacuations for homes and businesses within five miles of the fire. A red flag warning is in effect, which is a sign of high wildfire risk.
The fire is moving upslope in medium to heavy vegetation
Having a name as big as the Angeles National Forest is no small feat. As with any firefighting endeavor, Los Angeles County Fire Department was there for the duration, as well as providing fire hoses and firefighters aplenty. In the end, the aforementioned blaze was contained to 48 acres with the aid of two fire tenders and a hefty sized dose of retardant.
The fire was deemed to be the small fry when it came to size and scale, although it certainly wasn’t the smallest of the lot. Its biggest foe was an overturned pickup, which was responsible for the fire’s genesis. The following day, the locals ascended the mountain and put a dent in the foe.
