From my place, it has gotten very quiet. No smoke visible, no planes flying, and we are ready to let our collected breaths out over here. Looks like we turned the corner on this. Ordering up a team must have done it.

7:10 pm — It has been relatively quiet all afternoon, but a local, and Cal Fire ff came through here and she told me there were some roll outs which are a bit worrisome. No plumes this afternoon, and no visible smoke for several hours. Getting some drift now.

And conditions are good. Fog is back at 1500-2000’ no winds, cooler temps than yesterday. So Mother Nature is playing nice.

Was back near division Xray this afternoon (right around Naciemento road). Looked like there was a bit of torching up on division Mike towards the end of the day- enough to send up a moderate plume, but it got tamped down pretty quick once it was in the shade. The entire time I was up there, there were a few helo’s out of liggett doing quick drops on the few hotspots that were remaining. As long as the night time plays nice this should be close to buttoned up.
