Summary
The Claremont Fire rages on, now covering 6,800 acres, but firefighters are making steady progress—keeping it mostly contained after a wild start. Operations paused briefly due to a chilling discovery: the area was once a military firing range, and unexploded ordnance may still lurk. The Army Corps of Engineers mandated an 1,800-foot safety buffer, forcing crews to work cautiously outside it. This isn’t new—back in 1996, a similar fire unearthed dangerous ordnance. Now, with safety first, crews are shifting eastward to protect everyone and get back to work. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
