Based on time lapse, this started 50 minutes ago just before 1615. That’s some scary impressive fire growth.

Spot a ways out front. I was about to say the fire is just over 2 miles from structures on Sawmill rd. in the Isabella Highlands neighborhood.
Maybe less than 2 miles at this point.
Not looking good.

Some how it seems I started this Q&D thread. However I started the Wagy flat area “Shirley” fire thread 5 days ago from a separate start in the same area of this “French” fire. It was merged into this…maybe it was a hold over heat/escape??
Not that there’s anything wrong with this merge.
I was out of coverage of internet access when I heard this French fire start.
Check the caltopo map link here in the morning. It should populate the heat signatures soon.

I it doesn’t get berried in many more posts.
I posted in here originally due to the proximity to the original fire and the fact that the first fire was small. I suppose a MOD just rolled it over since the Shirley was small and there was likely-hood the new start would just consume it’s small burn area.
Air to ground 41 not sure about victor. Anyone got a pocket card for the area?
