The Apple Fire is some 12-15 miles away. There is no imminent danger to the Morongo Basin. with an “abundance of caution” the Sheriff has issued a very early preparation warning for the Rimrock and Pioneertown areas. Even if winds pick up (and they are actually supposed to diminish) it would still be some 15-48 hours until the Fire becomes a concern for the Morongo Basin. There is no concern for the Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms, and Wonder Valley areas at this time. Z107.7 is in touch with Fire and Public safety agencies and should there be any imminent danger will go to a 24 hour live news operation to broadcast any emergency information.
