With all the “international travelers” flooding in I don’t see these fires stopping for a long time!

Sounds reasonable. Lots of burning season left and with the Border the way it is nothing would surprise me.

It’s not close to the fuel break yet and it’s not even close to 6 blades wide any more. Looks to be in Mine Canyon. The fuel break follows Otay TT, then shoots out Ridge Road and then turns north and ends just West of tank 3-5.

FC63, I’m simply stating what I heard one of the engines report. Thanks for the local insight!

34 years of dealing with Otay was enough lol!! If it’s mid Mine Canyon may have to fly troops in, another steep and nasty area !!

Hearing the AA speak with the copters and trying to nail down a helispot. Has one on the ridge but will not have them inserted until retardant is around it. Not sure of the correct location.

I still have the map of the old helispots we put in back in 1996. Still can find some.
