Lots of room for this to run east into the badlands for the next 2-4hr. Once the sun goes down the wind will die off in the area.

What pther fires start and take aircraft?
How big does it get?

San Tim Canyon has the potential to run all.the way to Beaumont between the 10 & 60 freeway.

Stay safe, the year is just getting started.

The fire on MCP is requesting a total of 6 Tankers. This fire has 4 so far…So ya, aircraft may determine what gets caught and what does not.

Edit, Shore AA is asking for 2 LAT’s and possibly a VLAT.

Currently 92 acres per Intel Aircraft.

This area has not burned in a major fire since the Woodhouse Fire way back in October 2005. This area is dense with chaparral.
