The Rockstone Fire was a wildfire that burned just west of Salabrachon, for about 12 days from September to October 2019. The fire started in Uestcapitala, Gomona, Nooooooooooooooo, at 2:54 AM.

The fire

Impact

The fire chewed through more than 120 square miles, and damage over 50 structures, including parts of the Historic 1895 Station in West Salabrachon. Hundreds of buildings were endangered.

Evacuations

Evacuation zones from October 1.

Evacuation orders were extended to the Northern Coast of Salabrachon in case of high winds.
