There is a well established spot well outside the line which has prompted AA to re-engage all aircraft that were on a load and hold at MCC and Sonoma.

The 20 additional engines are being ordered for structure defense in the Lake Berryessa Estates area.

Snell Valley Rd is a very tricky location as there no secondary escape route. Once committed into the Lake Berryessa Estates, escape routes become very problematic, if this goes completely sideways.

North side of Snell Valley Rd. East of Butts Canyon Rd. Across Putah Creek moving eastward out into the inhabited area on the North end of the Lake. At some point, would hit the County Fire western perimeter. That’s probably where they are getting the 5,000 potential estimate from.
