To give you a idea of the lay of the land and why itâs burning the way it is, the arrow is pointing toward Quaker meadow then beyond the is ponderosa.
That fire on top of Dennison is from yesterday take a look at the ops map.

There hasnât been much of anything as far as updates go for the progression of Dennison Mtn all day long. Mum has been the word.
Anyone know how threatened Three Rivers is? Donât know the area well enough to advise some friends.
Its just a matter of time nothing to stop it from coming to 3 rivers
They issued some Evacs in the three rivers area and if your friends where in that area they would of been notified. I wouldnât get them worked up just yet

AGREED! No reason to create fear out of thin air.
There is a lot of rock between where itâs at on the N/W part of the fire and three rivers so I would disagree with nothing stopping it.

Thatâs correct no need to create fear or panic.

Thank you everyone.
There are plenty of fire control roads between the fire and 3rivers. Hopefully they will be used to stir the fire away from communities. it is my understanding the fire is know the #1 priority so more resources should be coming in.

Towards the end of S Fork Rd in 3R is Mtn #319. It runs all the way to Springville if I remember and is well maintained.

The irrigated pastures off Cahoon Ditch and Mt Rd 319 serve as excellent LZ and point protection zones but the steeper you get into Grouse Canyon you hit dense chamise and mixed chaparral. Hasnât burned good in quite a long time. The south fork canyon more or less bottlenecks here before opening up. Hope it stays on the south side of Dennison - those roads seem like solid breaks.

In Three Rivers, South Fork Drive and Cherokee Oaks are under mandatory evacuation orders and everyone else from the town to NPS housing at Ash Mountain are under voluntary evacuation recommendations. The Sheriff and local community Facebook pages are doing a pretty good job of keeping people apprised and quashing rumors and misinformation. Let me know if youâd like some links for your friends to follow.

Yeah, if it crosses Dennison things are going to get really interesting. No good place to hold it if the winds switch again.

As stated before there is a lot of rock up and around and past Dennison, there will be more opportunities to slow it down in those areas.

This is very true. Also, as the elevation drops towards the community of 3R, the fuel type changes drastically from the high country.
