My Kid is on that fire and said fire was hang up all over the place it’s a mess. With the weather change we will see what happens today and tomorrow. Been on a few fires in that area running crew. Brush was so thick had to cut windows in it to stack what we were cutting. Not to mention how steep some of that ground is.

Is this maybe to spread out some resources to the bridge fire?

When you have a rapidly evolving incident like this one you will get surge resources from local areas, these surge resources might put the local area below draw down and thus as soon as possible these local resources will be released as out of area resources arrive. This is standard practice.

Any old-time foresters know what’s the deal with the Manzanita Flat area ( 34°09’44.8"N 117°02’40.0"W)? Appears to be some grid-like planting. Penny Pines?
(Don’t look at the perimeter too closely you dirty bastards)

No line is what it looks like, due to weather & intense fire activity, they haven’t had air support for two days. They’ve been corralling it and prepping to protect homes, I doubt any serious line construction has been completed (3%?)

Today could be a rough day as the convergence boundary is over the ridge tops and more towards desert slopes which will probably drive the pyrocu to the east and fire upslope runs. The thunderstorms and precipitation to the east.
Also to add: if the fire continues to progress towards Seven Oaks it could get into alignment with the stronger onshore winds Tuesday/Wednesday and threaten Big Bear.
