The Boone Fire was reported around noon Tuesday, Sept. 3, off Highway 198. By 7 p.m., it had burned 3,000 acres, and by Wednesday morning it was estimated at 11,000 acres (17 square miles), CalFire said.
Evacuations were ordered on Wednesday morning for a sparsely populated 100-square-mile area of the southern Diablo Range in Fresno County. The sheriff’s office said about three dozen homes were in the fire’s path.
Highway 198 was closed between Highway 25 and Coalinga.
The map above shows the approximate perimeter as a black line and the evacuation area in red.
