Decent header showing off the Ortega Highway. OCFA B6 requested all the water tenders in the county. E356 on scene calling it 2-3 acres with potential for 10-15 acres in moderate fuels. B6 requesting 2nd alarm.

Are They calling it the ORTEGA IC or Gibby IC? I’m hearing both.

Its the Gibby.

ORC Div 3 has assumed Gibby IC. Looks like it’s made the first ridge east of the Ortega and is moving with the on shore flow to the north east. Multiple resources orders going in for additional strike teams, crews, and tankers.

450 acres moderate to rapid rate of spread with potential for 1000 per AA. Rancho Carrillo Community and Quest Nichols Institute are both considered threatened.

In alignment with room to run. No fire history ahead of it since the ‘20s. The 1920s

Glad you clarified that!
Probably as much room to run as anywhere in Orange County.
450 acres…going to be a big box.

Looks like it’s lost a lot of steam now. Pretty cool out and not a ton of wind.

On the evening of October 27th 1993, fire ripped through the Rancho Carrillo community. Early the next morning the Hot Springs was burned through.

You’re right, Ortega fire, didn’t see it on Cal Topo. Just the right color that I can’t see well.
Fake News on me!
