The fire has transitioned from grass to brush and is pushing hard up hill. It is about to hit the top of the ridge, but it’s also pushing sideways against the wind.

Will be wind and Slope aligned for the afternoon Seabreeze up Pala-Temecula Canyon. Not real good dozer country about 1/4 way up the Slope. Provided they can keep the fire on the west side of Pala-Temecula Rd they have a chance. The last time that piece of dirt burned was 1996/1997. At least thay have a water source close by for the rotor wing at the Old HG Fenton Sand Pit.
Stay safe
edit this will be SOUTH not north(old age) of the old HG Fenton Sand Pit. Could cause problems for the water source as there are 600Kv lines right next to the dip site and the smoke is blowing that way. This area was supposed to be the Gregorgy Canyon Landfill and did not burn in the 07 Rice fire

The type 1 or 3 Strike Team is needed at San Antonio Way and Pala Loma. Copter 10 is clearing the fire in San Diego City and should be en-route. SND is also providing water tenders. An OES rep is en-route to the ICP.

Intel 12 is en-route with a 25 min ETE, we should get a better idea of size and potential after they map it.
