Concerns now about it crossing the aqueduct and need for road closures in Fairmont Buttes area.
Local news media has dropped the ball on this no good local coverage of the flare up today
ABC 7 live
The left flank, which wasn’t doing much when the major run occurred an hour ago, is now off to it’s own race. It has the potential become another major run.

Game on.
All within the last 15 minutes.
Its making runs up canyon to the T an I div. break on Branch 5. Pine canyon maybe?
Tankers are making an effort to slow it down.
IAP Index, kinda an overview for divisions and breaks:

Pulling resources out of Div. F. That is around (Sierra Pelona -incorrect) Sawmill Truck Trail. Getting squirrely.
Any idea how close to I it is?
Based on IAP map not too far.
Maybe they are doing some firing opts!!
Going to have to build a bigger box, further west. Doing more structure prepping on northern parts of Pine Canyon.
The fire is doing it’s own firing opts
The fire is generating lightning.
