This afternoon a structure fire spread to adjacent vegetation in the Sierra Foothills of Mariposa Conty in the Hunter Valley area which seems to have a big burn every year or every other year so here we go again. Currently at 500 acres and essentially no containment as it escaped initial attack and extended attack this afternoon into evening.
