Fire is NOT yet established in Stevenson Creek drainage. If it does, it will be the trigger point to evacuate Shaver Lake. The fire is backing on the North/West side of the San Joaquin River towards structures.
Sounds like the fire is not up on Musik Mountain yet. It is North of their now.
PT 52 is reporting a spot fire between Mammoth Pools and Shuteye Pass.
Mammoth Pool road is not passable currently. FS LEO is advising she is stuck at the Apple Ranch, with fire on both sides of the road.
Looks like GB Team 1 has been assigned
A Patrol is staging at the apple orchard with fire on both sides on mammoth pool rd. Maybe that’s P52 again. Between clearwater and fish creeks\ you can delete this.
AA 51 Fire Watch states due to extreme fire behavior and large high altitude plume, he can not complete an IR map. Will email off video and create a "blob"map of the progression.
