Burning on the edge of the zaca and in the 93 marre fire footprint.
anybody have a scanner link?
Just saw 910 I believe coming into SMX. Correction 911.
Tanker 911 is at Santa Maria now
Great shots. Great info too. I was on Zaca I and II. Zaca I started 7/4/2007 at 11am ish. The fire behavior making broad cross slope sweeps is classic for local factors for Figueroa Canyon. Zaca was different in it’s directional spread which went from west to east up towards Figueroa Lookout. Last night was the opposite but still the same fire behavior with the steep slope (topo) alignment. That is definitely not holdable mid slope country. This will be a big box fire. It’d be worth getting the ops maps out for the Zaca I&II. Ridgeline contingency stuff and areal ignition tactics for the backcountry sides. Hopefully dozers and shots can do some good night ops work in the front country. God bless you sir. Stay safe.
I get closer to 12,000–13,000 acres. The linear/evenly-spaced MODIS/VIIRS hits are probably detecting the heat in the column. I’m sure it’s already out of date!
Intel ship is enroute so we should have some solid information in the next hour or so
What is the address/location of the ICP?
Probably more accurate… if this thing keeps pushing west, where’s the SRA delineation? I’d imagine CF is preparing for state mission
cal fire is in unified command along side lpf and sb county

If you look back at Post #90, there is a DPA map. I think it was mentioned the fire was at or across Foxen Canyon Rd. That should be in, or very close to SRA.

Here is a GIS link that makes it easier to determine
As currently mapped, most of this fire looks to be on State DPA.
Looks like 641 is heading north, I was away for a bit, I am assuming they were on a mapping mission and a new perimeter should be posted soon.
Spent a fair bit of time over the fire.
12,227 acres
