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

Sheās 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 Fireās tenacity is in the league of itās own.

Donāt have to tell me, I was there: it didnāt rain everywhere on the fire. And 1000 hr fuels that are already burning donāt 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 Clarkās 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. Iām 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.

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.
