Scanner
IC says the fire is now 750 acres. Has crossed Belmont Trail. Still 10% containment. Requesting four additional dozers.
VLAT and T1 Helo ordered
The fire has crested the Ridge and is visible on the La Panza Cam. Currently taking out a large Bowl.
1,550 acres, entering BLM jurisdiction
What’s the wind like down there?
Winds are definitely picking up in the Santa Maria area. The influence in the Branch Mountain area is out of the north. If winds are blowing down the 166 corridor, they will also influence this fire.
Good call by the IC on those Dozers, looks like good country for them to work.
Does anyone know what Mountain Peak the La Panza Alertwildfire camera is on? I don’t see a La Panza peak anywhere on the map.
