Just in from Ignacio Springs on Facebook:

Ignacio Springs
·
We are all safe. Had some damage. Who knew that Kayaks melt so quickly. Ha ha. We have the fire out, just watching for the hot spots, palms can smolder a long time. Had lots of help from the great community of San Ignacio, bless you all, We were right in the path of the fire so it was scary for a few hours. Little bit of a wind makes the fire spread and literally fly. Random palm on the property sustained a little damage. Couple of Yurts had some “hot ember” damage, but all our people and pets are safe.
Thank you everyone for your concern.
We are without internet at the moment as the lines are down, Hope it is restored soon. I will be checking my emails as I can. I need to come to town to get internet for now.
Thank you all.
P.s. Kayaks and paddle boards needed if anyone has some for sale or trade!
❤️

Not sure about a Mulege fire, but there is a bad one in San Ignacio.

Chuckie, this may be what you're hearing. This is a copy from Gringo Gazette:
Oasis on Fire
At about 5:30 pm yesterday, dozens of hectares of palm trees were engulfed on fire at the San Ignacio oasis. San Ignacio is a palm oasis town in Mulegé, located on Mexican Federal Highway 1 between Guerrero Negro and Santa Rosalía. Firemen from Loreto, Santa Rosalia, Vizcaino and Guerrero Negro as well as members of the Civil Protection unit, the Navy, Army, Red Cross, City police and local residents fought for hours to put it out. There are no reports of injuries or damage to properties which were real close to the fire.
Phew!
