Div Z states fire is “outpacing him at a fast walk” down the freeway, trying to keep it on the north side of the freeway.

what we don’t want is that to move to the east down Corrizo Gouge and take out the historic Spreckles wooden trestle. Its one of the remaining largest wooden trestles in the Unitied States all that tamerist will burn nasty in the mouth of the gouge along the train tracks.

I retired from McCain Camp near there. Trying to listen to the traffic to determine which side of the freeway it’s on. That new helicopter is just about there.

AA states majority of this fire is on the north side of I-8. Also very limited ground access and minimal dozer access in flats. Handcrews with an aerial show.
Evening winds can blow down canyon until sunrise.

yeah, that’s defo not Dozer country. All hand show. Will be a slow roll due to the Boulders. lt looks like the head is about 1/4 mile west of the old tecate RR tracks now. The De Anza Springs Resort is just 1/2 mile east of the tracks.

wish the news helicopter would fly the Goat canyon veiwpoint on the west flank to see where the head is on that side. I want to see how close to the wooden trestle it is.

Goat Canyon Trestle is about 5 miles straight line distance downcanyon from I-8, if that helps. You can actually see it on Google Earth.

yeah I see 2 helitankers working the west flank now. I think they’ll put this thing to bed before sundown as far as foward movement.

Fire is well established in the Carrizo Gorge and pushing to the north and northeast. Not sure if the historic tressels are threatened but I’d imagine so by sun up.
