The Garnet Fire burning in the Sierra National Forest has grown to 13,934 acres with no containment as of a Thursday morning report, prompting new evacuation warnings, officials said.

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office said evacuation warnings are now in effect for zones K74, K85, K160 and K32B.

McKinley Grove Road remains closed east of Camp Fresno, and both Camp Fresno and Dinkey Creek Campground are under evacuation warnings.

Zones K30, K31, K32A and K40 remain under evacuation orders, while zones K28 and K29 are still under warnings.

The Forest Service has also issued a partial closure of forest lands to the public.

Hunters and other visitors already in the area are being urged to leave, and those planning trips are being asked to cancel them.

Fresno County Proclaims State of Emergency

Fresno County officials proclaimed a state of emergency Tuesday due to the fire’s impacts. County Administrative Officer and Emergency Services Director Paul Nerland issued the proclamation, which the Fresno County Board of Supervisors must ratify within seven days.

The board has scheduled a special meeting Friday.

The fire began Sunday in the Sierra National Forest and continues to threaten mountain communities, officials said.
