Div P was active overnight moving to the N NW.
Fire made a serious move to the North last night and today. Description of the “slopover” starts about 2:50 in the video. “We expect the fire to hit Hwy 38 in the next 24 hours” and they are moving the box. Hwy 38 will now become their planned primary line and 330/18 is their secondary.
