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
The Line Fire has been rained on several times throughtout its burn.
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.
It came out from below AO and has crossed the SA drainage. Now moving along the Eastern flank of the finger that ran up to Bluff lake through Clark’s Grade. Will test contingency lines and the fuels reduction along the the main rise running East to the resorts. Should have a decent chance of holding it there. I’m more concerned about the continued growth from AO down to SA and East towards Seven Oaks. That could determine if this a few days issue or weeks issue.
Evacuation order for the community of seven oaks
From the comments the other day when it made a run and it was said it was within their containment lines and no risk to today and they have a vlat on it, must have some significant threat to their containment lines all of a sudden now.
Contingency containment lines had been put into repair status

Across the Eastern most dozer line per divison.
I suggest they go back up there and un-repare them lines.
Without a map section it’s hard to know exactly where that is. Eastern most direct containment dozer line would have been the piece from Clark’s Grade down to the 07 rd. There’s 2 more contingency lines we put in to the east of that. The next one would be the ridge east of Mile creek and the last being way east about 4 ridges over tying in Mill Creek to the 06 rd. But again all contingency lines had been put into repair status.
