Multiple Burning Vehicles in Kelseyville Ignite Nearby Vegetation

The Pharo Fire sent a dark column of smoke into the sky[Screenshot from the Cow Mountain 2 Alert Wildfire Web Camera, enhanced to show details of the smoke]

At approximately 1:30 p.m. the Pharo Fire began burning in the Lake County community of Kelseyville engulfing cars, boats, and RVs in flames that would then spark nearby vegetation.

Ground and air resources have been fighting back the flames located near the intersection of Pharo Place × Glebe Road. As of 2:15 p.m., firefighters have successfully kept the fire from spreading beyond 1.5 acres.

As of 2:21 p.m., the forward progress of the vegetation fire had been stopped and resources will be working to extinguish the vehicles and other debris.

Thanks for the coverage, and Cal Fire + Kelseyville FD, not to mention all the ranchers and farmhands that came scooting in to stomp this…

I was driving to the Post Office right about when it started…

Very scary to see the thousands of dead trees and the roads that haven’t been cleared of dead weeds etc…

Mount Buckingham/Konocti folks only talk about “when the big fire comes” these days.
