The fire is still making a decent push and is about 50 yards from jumping Topanga Fire Road. This will pose a structure threat at some point, there is chatter about initiating some evacuations. This fire is creating a pretty good heat signature and a Pyro Q at about 10,000 ft. Impressive fire behavior for May in the Marine layer.
Looks it spotted to me.
