Sonora, CA — If you are seeing smoke in the skies over Sonora it is a very large slash pile fire burning off Tuolumne Road.

The actual pile is located in the 18900 block of Eagle Ridge Road, across from the Tuolumne Utilities District building.  Firefighters are on the scene and are working to extinguish the blaze. CAL Fire spokesperson Lindy Shoff tells Clarke Broadcasting there is no threat of the flames spreading to nearby buildings or vegetation, but crews will remain on scene until the fire is extinguished. The public is asked to stay clear of the area.
