LPF Chief 1 and IC seem to have agreed on ordering a team, based on activity and growth potential.

Watched Grass Mountain Camera from 2200-2400. Came up north facing, hit ridge and blew south east towards Figueroa Station (my station in 2002). Fig still shows light off in the distance but satellite heat shows fire in Figueroa drainage. That concerns me because that whole canyon is a box canyon with Fig station towards the top south side of the ridge. To me, it looks like the fire has hit Neverland Ranch based on CalTopo’s Terra Satellite at 11pm. This fire is branching out in many directions. Tomorrow will be interesting.

After working the fire or attempting to work it we were chased out multiple times. With the narrow valleys with full area ignition. The fire was making huge runs and sheeting entire slopes when aligned. When we ended up bedding down at roughly 0130 am it was still in the high 90s we single digit humidity’s at the fire. The management has pulled resources off of then western flank due to no visible place to punch line and get us some rest for today. Acreage wise, by the time the fly it and map it again I’m guessing this fire will be closer to 9-11k acres. The last significant fire in that area ended burning close to 300k acres in 2007.

Basically in 2007 the LP made a big Box and kept the fire within it.

Also not confirmed, but possible problem with that A/G and they might be using A/G 41, 167.475 until a new one can get assigned.

Erroneous. It escaped the “big box” and went for another 200,000 acres more and was finally wrapped 2 months later by IHC’s spiking out for weeks and going direct.
