Problem with Yucaipa ridge was that it was washed out in places to the East. From Mill Creek station up it was opened and improved by BDF dozer 3 and crew.

Clear wind change, up canyon wind pushing up Oak Glen, concerned about jumping Oak Glen Road. From my view its progressed much further east also
Oak Glen area rarely impacted by east winds.

Unified Command agencies working together in 110 degree heat. and getting a video update out during IA… wow. Green/Red/Blue does not matter at this point. https://www.facebook.com/SanBernardinoCountyFire/videos/661357854483398/UzpfSTczODE3MjU2NDpWSzozMjQwMjA0Mzk5MzY4Mjc1/

Relative humidity recovery tonight will be almost non existent. Without the tankers slowing spread and temps in the 80’s and 90’s much of the night could see some good fire behavior tonight.

Light downslope winds and RH 15% should also contribute to fire behavior.

San Bernardino National Forest reports

A portion of the San Gorgonio Wilderness is now closed. Hikers who are exiting the Vivian Creek, San Bernardino Peak and Momyer trailheads are advised to stop their trip and head back to retrieve their vehicles. Stay tuned for more possible closures in the wilderness.
and
Due to #ElDoradoFire evacuation orders in Forest Falls/Mountain Home Village, area rec sites/trailheads are closed.

Upbound Hwy 38 is closed at Bryant St. in Yucaipa, but areas near Big Bear are still open.
