Rate of progress backing down into University Creek drainage above Mountain Home village causing concern, SB Co. Sheriff’s helicopter requested to assist via PA system to announce evacuations.
Only one way out, small road.

had trouble loading for me, give it a sec.
Problem with Yucaipa ridge was that it was washed out in places to the East. From Mill Creek station up it was opened and improved by BDF dozer 3 and crew.
Evac warning for Yucaipa north to Hwy 38.
Clear wind change, up canyon wind pushing up Oak Glen, concerned about jumping Oak Glen Road. From my view its progressed much further east also
Oak Glen area rarely impacted by east winds.
Continuing no divert on 4 airtankers due to life safety.

Unified Command agencies working together in 110 degree heat. and getting a video update out during IA… wow. Green/Red/Blue does not matter at this point. https://www.facebook.com/SanBernardinoCountyFire/videos/661357854483398/UzpfSTczODE3MjU2NDpWSzozMjQwMjA0Mzk5MzY4Mjc1/

Relative humidity recovery tonight will be almost non existent. Without the tankers slowing spread and temps in the 80’s and 90’s much of the night could see some good fire behavior tonight.
Light downslope winds and RH 15% should also contribute to fire behavior.
