May Fire Chief Bo Allen was on KOXE with Carl Wayne and tells us that they have been able to stop the progress of the Blanket fire before it got to 183. Still not out of the woods yet, but this is a bit of good news. May is not under mandatory evacuation but residents are still being asked to be prepared in case something does change.
