That chunk of growth to the south in Hot Springs Canyon is a gnarly piece of terrain in a Roadless Area. Last recorded fire in the upper watershed was in 1980 with the Indian Fire

Div B and F are redeployment resources for structure defense in Silverado canyon and modjeska. Asking AA to advise how much time they have to determine evac warning or order

The 15 min loop on Santiago N shows it burn past as the cam operator follows the fire front. Pretty good watch, now we shall see if everything holds while it cools down up there.

Interesting the first few days of the holy there wasn’t much going on. This fire being near the same area seems to be a very different story. Not a whole lot of defensible space clearing done then either unfortunately.

I was hoping the Holy Fire would hold it. While it did, to a point. The swath of fire on the southern flank simply exploded all the way around the old scar. I had hoped that fire crews could button up the line to the south right into the scar and it would be a done deal. But this thing is frighteningly impressive in its tenacity.
The fireline is well capable of sending itself all the way out to Lake Elsinore with this alignment. These fires in SoCal will become infamous.

Based on the smoke from the Elsinore side, the onshore winds are now pushing pretty good and the fire will probably run more to the east now from it. Smoke rolling down off the Ortegas with the wind rather than building a column. Some light winds just starting in Elsinore 10-20 MPH.
