It's eating into new fuel...should SDFD have made air drops on the east end of the fire while the santa anna's were still going? then the fire would have been hobbled if it shanged direction.

The MSNBC feed just panned out. It appears to be a "spread out" group off homes. All fully engulfed.

Still not sure where the chopped is at.

Reminds me of Los Alamos fire a couple of years ago. Of course that received more coverage because of the proximity to the nuclear lab.

Great screen shot capture. Those light colored trees in the picture are dead pines, dry and ready to explode like an old Christmas tree. Not looking good.
