CA-BEU-River???

Long, way to the LPF

I posted my question on the Carmel Fire and they are ending up here… Weird…

River fire has almost progressed down to Gonzales river road.

With how steep the terrain is I wouldn’t be suprised they build the box all the way down to arroyo Seco road.

Unless they can skirt dozers along the top of the mount and dive off a long ridge. Either it spotted a couple miles Past delta or just took off underneath the heavy smoke and AT and ground resources couldn’t see it. I would venture a guess it spotted across their 8 blade wide contingency line a couple miles north of limekiln

I think these two fires will merge in the south and head up East Carmel Valley. Air visability is poor and air support is limited. Resources are competitive making more aggressive firing operations harder to justify. As TK5710 mentioned, the dozer line can’t hold the spotting with topo and diurnal wind alignment. I agree that the box and outcome will end up being Arroyo Seco.

Throw the Dolan into the mix and you have the makings of a long term mega fire.

Any word if the winds have caused a merge with the River fire?

Yes. That’s what we are thinking.

It’s not a real cluster until you’re putting out spot fires under the Finance Trailer.

Link? Off the scanner?

been there done that

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This video is not what is going on at Toro camp and only non fire rated folks are leaving camp. Video is cool though. Does remind me of the Rim Fire green camp.

Breath in through your nose and out your mouth and count to 4. Lol

Carry on and stay hydrated my friends.
