The flames can be seen less than a mile away from the Incident Command Post of the Cranston Fire at Mountain Center.

The Incident Command Post or ICP is the temporary home for 1,400 fire crews who are battling massive flames that scorched over 11,000 acres.

Lee Beyer is a Public Information Officer with the U.S. Forest Service, he said crews are working to prevent the flames from reaching their camp post.

Beyer said, “What we don’t want that fire to do is to continue to work low across that ridge and get around kind of further to the South-East.”

He said crews have been fighting the flames endlessly.
