Has a location for ICP been determined
Skypark in Scotts Valley
Out of all the clusters, this one scares me the most. Thousands of remote structures and many communities in those mountains with narrow roads. A true design for major destruction. Being able to stop a moving fire in that fuel is almost impossible. I remember them saying they had fuel brakes six blades wide on the Austrian Gulch Fire and rats and varmints would dash across while being on fire. The only break is Hwy 17 from Los Gatos to Santa Cruz. Lots of tall stands of Redwoods.

Hearing rumors of multiple structures lost in the Boulder Creek/Bonny Doon areas. Anyone able to corroborate this or an updated map from thus morning?
My wife has a home up there and has talked to locals who confirm lost homes in Bonny Doon. I have not seen âofficialâ losses but between those reports and scanner traffic I think its a given

All the way down to the Ocean already.
Thank you. That helps.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Is there a scanner feed for the fire in bonny dune area?
25k acres and 20 structures destroyedâŚvery early estimates. Damage assessment teams requested which will surely raise the numbers
