There are a lot of homes scattered throughout that area, a lot of which are on single lane, windy roads and driveways.

based on the smoke on the wildfire cam, and the smoke I can see with my eyes, I feel like the energy output has lowered quite a bit

edit: forward progress stopped at 40 acres

Although this one may be a harbinger of a bigger fire(s) yet to come - especially given the incoming Wx - as i keep saying NEVER underestimate the power of T74 & T75 in this neck of the woods - they have always had some kind of special Force powers that i cant quite put my finger on. They slingin some effective mud!! And yes i know the “typical” marine influence in the salinas valley does not hurt either - But, if you’re a local you know what i mean.. :wink:

Yes, the Paso Airbase is about the best possible strategic location for SLO, looking at where you have people and the inland heat.
That whole Highway 41 Fire area is ripe - it’s been 31 years since the last big fire. The Hwy 41 fire actually started in this calendar-week.
