Showed up at CHP dispatch logs web site. Apparently a wildfire started this afternoon that as of 9:25 PM is still active. Hwy 97 was closed for most of the evening around the state line, though at 9:25 is open with one-way traffic control, and UP is also closed. One line in the log (around 7 PM) noted that UP might be sending through a fire train - from where, and what's on that kind of run? Anybody in the area with more info?
