Hospital Evacuation?

7/27/2008 Mariposa, CA The flames are coming close to the John C. Fremont Clinic in Mariposa, so they're on standby for a possible evacuation. Because of that, the clinic has made arrangements to have beds ready for patients in Merced and Turlock and as far away as Fresno.

The hospital isn't close to the flames right now but their seeing a lot of smoke.
