At approximately 1:30 p.m. the Pharo Fire began burning in the Lake County community of Kelseyville engulfing cars, boats, and RVs in flames that would then spark nearby vegetation.

Ground and air resources have been fighting back the flames located near the intersection of Pharo Place × Glebe Road. As of 2:15 p.m., firefighters have successfully kept the fire from spreading beyond 1.5 acres.

As of 2:21 p.m., the forward progress of the vegetation fire had been stopped and resources will be working to extinguish the vehicles and other debris.

I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
