This is from the summit of Brinkerhoff Road. If the winds that feed the sundowners hit this area, it will be very dynamic…
Additionally, I heard Ventana talking earlier about the fire impacting the Davy Brown area and were backing out to Cachuma Saddle.
Off topic perhaps, but that is a powerful photograph.
Dang, then past that it’s off to hurricane deck and sierra madre I guess.
See you all at Ozena spike camp…. Again. Fired off Rancho Nuevo to Brubaker Canyon.
Thank you for putting in these GREAT photos!
Thank you Mod7!
Thanks Mod7
Weather could create challenges today: FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM PDT SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH 9 PM PDT SATURDAY EVENING FOR DRY THUNDERSTORMS FOR INTERIOR MOUNTAINS, FOOTHILLS, AND VALLEYS OF LOS ANGELES, VENTURA, SANTA BARBARA, AND SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTIES… with high temps and 45-60 mph outflow winds possible. Gomberg at NWS LOX helped in the forecast. He has been the go-to guy for fire service assistance with fire weather forecasting in Region 1.

You’ll probably see the two Kern Fires to the right of the Lake Fire image, at this time.
Looking good for today. Hope it holds.
