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!

I worked the Kinneloa in '93. Steep and went up to Mt Wilson. Not fun either. Little Santa Anita Canyon was the left flank line.
