133,488 acres and 12% containment.
East Zone update: Ponderosa and Camp Nelson still no lost structures. Same for Pyles camp and Lloyds Meadow area. Continued “point protection” in place. Contingency line being worked on to the south on the Tule reservation along the Crawford Rd. Fire now established in the Coy Compartment upslope of the 21S94 which has lots of bug kill and is threatening Rogers Camp and Mtn Aire at the top of Coy.

Burn out ops underway? From Blueridge cam, there’s some good building columns :

Notice that this cam stopped at the posted hour. Watching the progression from 3 hrs ago it comes over the ridge and below in the canyon at same time. This site get burned over?

Looking north from Blue Ridge toward Dennison and unless things changed drastically from last night, my bet is a firing op…

[Fireout101]

Yes firing op- started about 2 hours ago.

![image|231x500](upload://jSHbJNDtihNGbPCjWCvo0biagN7. This is the piece they are burning today- from the fire line in the NW Portion of section 35 to the TT/PP Break in section 1. The lead firing group is already at the Division break and hanging it up there for the day- the upper team is moving slower due to some spotting issues in the grass but will be able to tie there operation into the lead team prior to days end.

[Capt_Cowboy]

So are they dragging fire essentially from grouse to Dennison Peak?

[CityFAE]

I do believe that’s the plan.

[Capt_Cowboy]

Hopefully south of south fork. Otherwise that’s a huge burn!

Here’s the CalTopo Imagery of the Grouse Valley/Dennison Mtn. area.

[Fireout101]

Tomorrow they will continue burning down Blue Ridge Rd towards Balch Park Rd behind all the structures in the bottom to the area of Jack Flat Rd. They will also bring fire cross country from Balch Park Rd near where it intersects with the Rancheria FCR and tie the two together in the bottom near Jack Flat.

Santa Cruz County local government type 3 strike team enroute late this afternoon

Honestly that whole area is so thick with brush and dead and down that the firing ops may be beneficial to the area.

A few months ago on blue ridge road,to give you a idea of the fuels.
