The fire is now bumping Hwy 74, I don’t know if it has crossed yet.
Edit, multiple spots across Hwy 74 now.
25 acres moderate ROS, heading NE, established across 74
The fire has crossed Scenic drive per the camera view.
IC requesting 3 T2 handcrews (prefer T1) + 3 T3 Strike teams, & 4 WT’S
60+ acres, moving hard to the NE. Lots of additional resources being ordered.
Wind driven ?
Here is a map for discussion. It is based on remote sensing and is only an estimate. Looks to be 65 acres. Buring up to Sugarloaf Mountain.
Looks like the wind in changing and aligning with the steeper slope up the mountain.
IC requesting RRU 10 closest T1 engines immediate need for structure protection.
Update to the map estimate. Looks more like 75-80 acres and well established and moving up Sugarloaf Mountain also pushing to the SE some to the head of Deep Canyon.
Evacuation warning for Pinyon and Alpine Village
⁃ Highway 74 closed b/w Palowet Dr. and Ribbonwood Dr.
Updated map estimate. Rough acres150-175 acres. Well positioned to wrap around Sugarloaf and threaten more of the 74. Map is an estimate use for reference and discussion.
T914 diverted to a new start out of state. AA still needs T1 airtanker to replace this request.
Sounds like T914 is headed to my neighborhood in Northern AZ.
Last update of estimated map. Estimated at 230-250 acres. Still very smoky and difficult to get a good look at northern flank. FIRIS INTEL on scene shortly will give much better mapping product.
