It is burning into SRA on the desert side, but LACO is direct protection. Considering what has been happening on this fire it is very possible, but don’t have first hand knowledge.

Mt High West has been running snow making machines most of the afternoon. On for a few hours then off for a few hours keeping the vegetation moist.

does Mt High have anything on the North side of 2???
Mt. High North is a tubing park, but I’m not aware of any snow making machines on that side.
Coulson was also using the large parking lot at that location as a staging area. The JPL Table Mountain Observatory is just uphill from Mt High North as well.

Plan is to keep the fire west of Largo Vista Rd. Fire is backing down toward Largo Vista with the wind starting to push it East.

The fire is about to cross Largo Vista to the east. Expanding evacuations all the way to the county line.

Defensive firing operations are about to begin on the North side of Mt. Wilson to mitigate the fire hooking around the NE corner of the mountain. This will tie it into existing retardant line. There is a good window of opportunity with favorable conditions.
