Confused! I have found references on line indicating that a major fire hit Mariposa County- (arson) in 1961- 106 structures and 2 lives lost=- In 1961 Mariposa County lost 106 homes to the Harlow Fire. HARLOW (ARSON) July 1961 county MARIPOSA acres burned 41,200 structures burned 106 lives lost 2 I then find online references that this fire occurred in Eastern Madera County- found to reference Eastern Madera County: That fire, known as the Harlow Fire, burned 20,000 acres in two hours, destroying 105 structures and claiming two lives. This is one of the fastest spreading wildfires ever recorded Fire safety is always a priority for the residents of Eastern Madera County. The memory of the catastrophic Harlow fire of 1962 is still vivid in the minds of many and a reminder of the need to be vigilant. =============== Anyone have any more information on this fire? Thanks, Carolyn
