It will be awhile, it’s in a area called the arctic circle by the locals it runs from Big Bear to just before the ski resort, it’s a steep and nasty piece of country, not surprised they are not putting crews in that area…

AA and a Lead up over the fire, looks like they might start dropping tankers again soon.

She’s really cranking now. Kind of reminds me of the Apple Fire in how she looks right now. Could get a lot worse, unfortunately. Because the reality is that most of that area has not burned in a long long long time. The overgrowth is extremely dense. I suggested as much a few weeks ago that this particular area would be a point of concern moving forward.

Looking at the Ops map everything looks to be inside the lines still.

BDU Just sent a strike team and crews. From what I was told there is no line on this part of the fire.

Based on aircraft flight patterns, kinda looks like its moving up the Santa Ana River drainage not Bear Creek

Very few fires I know of that ever bounced back to explosive activity after being snowed on. The Line Fire’s tenacity is in the league of it’s own.

It didn’t snow everywhere, didn’t even rain on it everywhere

Don’t have to tell me, I was there: it didn’t rain everywhere on the fire. And 1000 hr fuels that are already burning don’t care about a little intermittent precipitation, they will just take it and keep on going.
