[pct-l] Wrightwood Threatened By Fire

Wrightwood under mandatory evacuation as Sheep fire approaches
Fire officials issued a mandatory evacuation order for all of Wrightwood as the Sheep fire burned within a half-mile from the eastern edge of the mountain town.
Fire officials were hoping to now make a stand southeast of the town to prevent the flames from moving into Wrightwood proper, with crews both on the ground and in the air.
"Our goal is to stop it right here," said San Bernardino County Fire Department Battalion Chief Rick McClintock. "We're hoping it will slow down when it slops over this saddle."



Here we go again.  Any idea what started this one?

I think this is just developing, so I am sure things will change, but as of right now a good chuck of Wrightwood is under mandatory evacuations and the rest of it under volunteer evacuations due to a fire that is a mile away from town.
