I am at the fire. We are calling it roughly 6,700 acres. It still hasn’t reached Coast Ridge Road, but mostly will today. A lot of effort is going in to protecting the structures and the Hermitage.

Jumped highway one early this am around 4 am. Don’t know if it is controlled on the west side or not. Several houses on that side, Jumped at MM 30 between Dolan Point and Rat Creek
The fire has reached Anderson Peak, crossed the North Coast Ridge Road, made a major push toward Cone Peak, and is wrapping around the north and eastern side of the Hermitage property. When the fire was in line, there were runs with 200 -300 foot flame lengths. The fire spotted over the dozer line that was being constructed around the Hermitage. It is now a matter of individual point protection as the fire moves through all those structures and sites.

Word is that the large spot east of the DIV F/DIV X break is a mapping error.

I’m pretty sure that is an accurate representation. I heard the radio traffic day before yesterday. Do you have more info?
