Well there’s a fire between Sonora and Jamestown. Those of us who travel that route frequently have been looking at that area wondering when it’s going ro burn. It was massively overgrown with brush and trees. Guess it was it’s time. Hopefully it wasn’t caused by the Sonora Arsonist.

Who is the Sonora Arsonist you ask? They’re an urban legend that someone sets fires around Tuolumne County and the Sonora area. There is evidence to support the existence of such an individual in sightings of someone around fire scenes and they even arrested and jailed someone for setting fires some years ago.

There are actually 2 fires now. One north of 108 and west of 49 and the other about a mile up the road on the south side of 108. Most of Sonora is in the evactuation zones.
