1961 Harlow Fire Mariposa County California
According to the Sierra Star of Oakhurst California “The Harlow fire of 1961, the fastest burning fire in California history, created a firestorm that burned as much as 175 acres per minute, sweeping more than 18,000 acres in two hours destroying Ahwahnee and Nipinnawasee in some 15 minutes as it raged from around Stumpfield Mountain in Mariposa County to the very edge of Oakhurst in two days.”

That's a real tragedy. There were only about 16421 1929 cabriolets produced. Not to mention the woody and the destruction of the towns. I live out in the sage brush here. Not much to burn around us. One of my neighbors said a fire would go through here too fast to set structures on fire. I hope he's right.
