History repeats itself as evidenced by many fires over the years that duplicate an earlier or many earlier fire footprints, i.e. Oakland-Berkeley Hills (1923, 1946, 1970, 1991).
The Washburn Fire must be closely watched to be sure it does not duplicate the 1961 Harlow Fire which burned nearby. Attached is the fire progression map for the Harlow Fire which I believe IMT_Geek posted a week or so ago at this website.
