Added correct Cam link. Coon hollow showing the Column.
The fire is throwing spots across the Canyon threatening structures, AA wants evacs of Bald Eagle Ct, Cascade Trail + Stoney Hill Ct. 5 additional type 3 engines started.
Got a big column on it. Heard AA arrive and state it was at least 10-12 acres and heading into the timber with no signs of slowing down. Sounds like multiple structures in the area.
