Spotted across Bobcat Springs Rd Now
The spot across the Rd is 1 acre with additional spots occurring.
It’s heading toward Jonata Park area. It’s a lot of continuous grass and some heavy patches of oak woodland. If it spots across the 101, it will have more brush and a heavier structure threat.

Per AA, 50 plus acres with spotting and RROS. Additional Tankers being requested.
