"Fire activity has increased on the Tamarack Fire this afternoon. In Division F, firefighters are reporting winds out of the northwest. The fire is still south of the CA-88 road and west of the CA-89 road. Crews will continue to work in this area to keep the fire from crossing the road.
In Division O, the fire has advanced further to the east and has reached the dozer line behind the Spring Valley Subdivision. Firefighters are currently holding the fire on the dozer line. Flames are visible from the highway. Due to an increase in fire traffic and fire firefighters working in the area, Hwy 395 has been closed. Crews have been establishing indirect fireline as a means to protect structures along the highway."
There are confirmed spots on the East side of 395 but I think we need to be careful of saying that the fire itself is across 395. Spots can be picked up and from the radio traffic sounds like they are vs. a fire that is across and running.
Looks like a decent chance of moisture, decent RH recovery, hot and humid conditions thru the forecasted period, every little bit helps…would be nice to see this one put to bed…
