As the fire backs uphill against the wind into the ANF it has 2.5 miles before it hits the 2020 Bobcat scar. Plenty of room to the NW into the 2009 Station fire scar.

This fire is starting in the same location and taking the same path as the October 1993 Kinneloa Fire. That one was under the influence of the Santa Anas and destroyed dozens of homes on Kinneloa Mesa; burned ~5,500 acres. History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes!
