As winds start to blow wildfire smoke out of Central California, the Tulare County Sheriff has issued an evacuation order for more areas threatened by the KNP Complex wildfires.
The orders are for all residences on both sides of North Fork from Sheep Creek to Yucca Creek and Dinley Drive. There will be a road closure at North Fork at Sheep Creek. Evacuation warnings still remain in place for all structures from Old Three Rivers Road and Blossom Drive to South Fork Drive, including South Fork Drive up Highway 198 to Mineral King Drive, including North Fork Drive, also including all side roads along Highway 198 to Mineral King Drive.
As of Tuesday night, the fire had burned 81,473 acres and containment remained stubbornly stuck at 11%.
An evacuation order makes it mandatory for residents to leave the area immediately.
