Thank you for reposting the map! It's by far the best that has been released thus far...

My apologies for jumping to a hasty conclusion. The county's admirable efforts to keep the community safe and fight the fire as best they can has not been matched by a reasonable attempt to provide the residents with timely information. I have to question whether keeping quiet really helps reduce panic!

They probably had to pull it. Iniciweb finally posted a map, but it's very old; it doesn't even show the south-western progress. Furthermore, the map makes no distinction between contained and active perimeter areas. Ray's Google map is much more current...

Inciweb seems to rehash the same info from another page, but with a massive delay; see http://gacc.nifc.gov/oscc/predictive/int...

As well, you can get some of the same info the news reporters are quoting from here (no update yet today):
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/fire/south/fwx/o...

And of course for the most relavent and best written news, you're already at the best place!

Why was the map pulled? Are the Gestapo running the show? The lack of publically-released information is disgraceful, and makes me feel ashamed of the county that I have long called home. Thank you Ray Ford and the Indepedent for providing the best coverage thus far!
