A fast-moving wildfire ignited Sunday in western Fresno County, burning approximately 537 acres near the Tumey Hills Recreation Area, according to Calfire officials.<\/p>\n
The blaze, dubbed the Tumey Fire, was first reported at 1:30 p.m. off Panoche Road, a remote area known for its rolling grasslands and rugged terrain.<\/p>\n
No containment has been made.<\/p>\n
Fire crews responded quickly and remain on scene working to contain the flames as they spread through dry vegetation.<\/p>\n
Firefighters face warm temperatures and breezy conditions that could challenge containment efforts.<\/p>\n
