Drawn from today’s extensive aerial news footage. Left flank is decently accurate, right flank was not their focus so it’s more of a wag. 3,500 acres per the news, 6k acres drawn there.

Per AA, from AA51 5,039 acres from the IR mapping.
The fire is chewing through the retardant in some places.
AA310 is suggesting maybe ordering a 2nd night flying helicopter for the evening, though it may be too late to do so.

From AA: the head moving to the east is very active, East of Mtn Center, with winds out of northwest.

OES 6840A from SD enroute…stay safe!
I think he is concerned with the fire getting established on the northwestern flank in Idyllwild Proper. That would be slope alignment for a major up canyon run tomorrow that would threaten many many more lives and property.
