Life safety alert for report of explosions in the area, long way to get resources into this fire. Have not heard any ground resources go on scene of the Vuelta Granda and Carancho traffic.
AA still only has Copter 301 for air resources, which needs to go in for fuel shortly, 301 started out in Riverside on the Wilson incident, before being sent to this fire.

This Fire was stopped at 10 acres and is 50% contained. I never heard much on the second start.

One of these Fires has flared up, Full response with Aircraft responding. There is some smoke showing on the Web Cam.

Per RRU the fire is 10-15 acres in steep rocky terrain, no structure threat at this time. They are calling this the Grande Fire. 4400 block of Vuelta Grande Rd.

Forward rate of spread stopped around 15 acres, 5 Air Tankers hit it hard.
