Inyo County, California | Round Fire is located off of Highway 395 at Sherwin Grade.
As of 0200 this morning, the forward spread of the fire has been completely stopped due to a high amount of rainfall. However, due to downed power lines and venting propane tanks, it is making it very difficult for firefighters to re-enter the area. Danger looms, which is not a good thing.
One injury has been reported and we are unsure if it is a firefighter or civilian.
There are currently 200 personnel on the fire with 47 fire engines, 2 dozers and 29 fire crews.
The cause is still under investigation but it is known the fire started at 1607 hours on Friday, February 6, 2015.
