I think they are calling this the grove fire.
A large cell just moved over the area.
look like AA310 , T72 and T73 en route from hemet
Winds have already shifted and smoke is being pushed back down canyon towards the heel.
WD putting it at 10-15 acres in heavy fuels with MROS.
Aircraft assigned: A310, T70, T1, T72, T73, 2CH, C12, C14, HT-729
CMD: CDF CMD 2
15 acres, MROS, potential of 100. Burning N/O of Hwy 79 in the Dahmer Valley.
Appears to be making a run
AA requesting VLAT, 250-300 acres
Typical west wind in the area has surfaced and the fire is well established.
Lot of room to run east, but it should “eventually” hit the Bonny scare in Anza😳
Maybe the biggest Pryo I’ve ever seen from the house in San Marcos. She gone
Moving into the Chihuahua 2 scar of 2012, should slow it down a bit.
Is it much of a scar? That’s all grass and brush and that was a while ago?
12 years of growth with all the rain of the last couple years just means tons of grass for it to haul ass through.
I was in the Santa Ysabel/Warners area on Monday and the grass is long, tall and ready.
If anyone has enough information, will you please start an IA thread as this one is going extended.
Thank you,
FJ

Per AA fire is now 500 acres. VLAT still enroute
Likely to burn over into into Anza Borrego State Park. Limited access, tough dozer country and water supplies only via Lost Valley TT. Evening winds will push over peaks and down canyon until sunrise.
The Coyote Fire in 2003 went from same area to over 18,000 acres.
