A stunning image shows the Garnet Fire approaching infrastructure near the historic Fence Meadow Lookout.
It's unclear at this time whether the lookout, constructed in 1934, has sustained any damage.
As of 1:30 p.m., the Garnet Fire has burned 41,001 acres and is 14% contained, according to fire officials.
Crews continue to battle challenging conditions as the blaze moves through rugged terrain.
Helicopters are playing a critical role in the fight against the Garnet Fire, and Action News got an inside look at the operations from the Reedley Helibase.
Crews are using Bell 205 helicopters capable of carrying 320 gallons of water, making quick trips to dip sites and back to the fire lines.
Inside a mobile control tower called the ARBO, operators coordinate dozens of aircraft, track their movements, and manage radio traffic to keep the firefight organized.
With small airports like Reedley Municipal serving as key bases, some pilots are even trained to make water drops at night in near-total darkness.
