North side of hwy 180 moving into brush oak woodland. Tankers dropping on that.
South of hwy mobile attack to contain.
Its named “hills” but, computer logarithm wouldn’t allow it due to same name last year (I believe).

Home area - up canyon / up valley wind pushes in the afternoon. Once the sun goes down, fires are usually picked up there.
