LPF Div 4 Taking Command under Unified. Command on FSNET Tone 14. Tacs FS 3 and 4. 4 Engines on scene doing structure protection. Several dozers engaging as well. A developed column is visable from area cameras and the column appears be leaning to south west. Before BC21 transferred command to Div4 he relayed to his dispatch that all residents had been evacuated from the Zaca Lake area. My guess is that this one won’t be out any time soon.

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.
