Looking at fire history, availiblity of local resources and the Intel 24 video and current weather, am not believing this will go too far. EDIT
Gulch 1 (Morris) is 16 acres, Gulch 2 is 4 acres. Image from Intel 24:

Very little smoke production on Sunset 2 cam this morning, pointed right at the fire ALERT Wildfire. No updates on Inciweb since last night. Nothing else on social media. Looks like LAC resources committed were scaled back to 2 hand crews and a supervisor.

What’s a “CN”? I’ve seen those on here and PulsePoint and couldn’t figure it out.
“Construction”. LACo uses that for their heavy equipment supervision positions
