I just spoke with Jack Griffith, Assistant Chief at Quemado Lake FD about the fire there earlier today. He said that there was one lightning ignited fire named the Baca Fire, which was about 6 miles to the SE of Quemado Lake
The Baca fire is contained at about 20 acres. USFS fire personnel created a fire line around it. Planes dropped slurry and a helicopter dumped water on it.
Contrary to rumor, there is NO evacuation order in place or planned for Quemado Lake at this time.
