This fire looks to have a big wind pushing it down into the Desert floor. Smoke is layed over horizontal and looks to be a decent size fire.

West of Agua Caliente County Park - Structures may be threatened at the Butterfield Manufactured Home & RV Community. IC has requested SDSO and State Parks to head there and notify residents to evacuate. All the Ramona aircraft are working the fire.
