Seneca Fire 4/21/23

A wild fire started burning on the North Peak of Seneca. Not much news on it right now.

I know the rocks were closed for the fire in 2017. Might want to check the status before you go.

Sad to see that picture. Fingers crossed they get tomorrow mornings rain that’s forecasted 

Small update from early this morning:

Really sad.  I was planning to head to Seneca today before seeing this, so thanks for the alert.  Hopefully the fire crews can keep it contained, and stay safe in the process, but it looks like the entire east side will be impacted.  Thankfully rain is coming today.

Rick Gillespie reports that the fire has been extinguished. See his facebook page for more info. (Link in my prior comment)

Thanks for the update Justin 

I really hope it wasn't someones errant campfire or cigarette...

Any reports on if the fire affected the rocks on the East side?

It did not.

Thanks! Those pictures looked like it was super close!
