Talked with a retired CF captain who worked in that area a bit, comfirmed that the area gets rugged up there.

Very rugged country that has some gnarly fire history. Elevated RH saved the day, today.

I can confirm that. I have been on 3 fires in the Bell Springs area. Tough country and heavy fuels too. Steep in some places. AND it get very hot this time of year.
