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.

No named mountain peak, it’s at the end of Los Pelados Rd.
