Friends,
Apparently our little 700 650 700+ acre wildfire is no longer news. The only information you’ll receive from now on is from the relentless Jaunty Little News Team and the CalFire blog. We’d like for Jaunty meteorologist Dr. Barry Spoon (68th in the class of ’84 at Universidad do Chiropractico in Caracas) to get a little rest after a full night of pouring over charts and graphs, so let’s see what CalFire has to say as of 7:00 this morning…
Fire is burning in the San Jacinto Wilderness but is visible from many areas.
Hand crews accessed the fire and established an anchor point and began building fire line along the ridgetop and the handcrews have spent the night Coyote on the fire and more crews will hike, fly to fire this morning.
Winds have died down and based on fire weather forecasts, fires projected movement is expected toward the South by South East.
Medium ROS, 15 mph winds, smoke, heavy downed timber, moving into brush.
The Steep terrain have made accessing fire difficult and ground resources have lengthy travel times to access incident.640 personnel on fire, Resources assigned include 28 handcrews, working the fire in very steep terrain today. Aircraft should fly due to favorable weather and light winds.
Got that? A ton of guys had a hard time getting here and can’t fly to the fire, so they’ll have to walk. With huge packs. Then fight a forest fire.
Would it be weird if I brought them cookies or something?
