Any reported structure threats or future impacts? I’m struggling to pick up radio traffic. Also have the updated there box?

If it crosses N109 on the upper end it will have a straight shot into Fedbalba which has tight and narrow roads and is just outside Running Springs and Arrowbear. Those areas have a ton of homes and it can quickly get congested with traffic.
The fuel loading is heavy in that area and limited access points. N109 is not a road to be caught on with this type of fire, limited turn around points and is narrow.

It’s Calle De Rio Street ( 7 Oaks) to Greenspot to the 38…they built a box but there are alot of homes scattered in that area and alot of orange farms… for the locals it’s pretty much the Iron Bridge to the 38 ( Mill Creek Road) which is the Mentone community. From 7 Oaks to the 38 is not far at all and alot of open country.
10 miles drive time from the 38 to 7 Oaks dam

Just heard from a reputable county operator that the state is loading up this federal forest fire with state and contract equipment that are timing out or being released from up north. I find this rather annoying because I know for a fact that a Forest dozer is sitting on their trailer less than 45min from this incident. especially with evacs. I’m surprised closest recourse isn’t a thing.

Yeah, Calla Rio is at 7 Oaks dam , the way it’s moving it’s being pushed to the 38 which runs in the Mentone Community. Greenspot turns in Flordia and Garner which is in the path of direction and ends at 38, at the street name change is around the area of city limits . There are a ton of homes and farms in that area that are in the path. From the 38 to 7 Oaks dam is only 10 miles or so by vehicle. I live on the area and it has a direct line of sight of sight to the upper part of Mentone, if hits the 38 it will either hit Yucaipa area, Forest falls area but the Mentone area will be impacted first. Lots of open land with lots of fuel that has not see a decent fire in years.

Doesn’t matter. All ordering goes through the forest and is filled with Viper.

And the commitment of BDF resources is at the discretion of the BDF Duty Officer.

Take a gander at the full camera Keller Peak and Running Springs cams, not the aimed portion.
