Spectr would know more on this...but now the winds are a major factor. Your earlier apt description was very good, Mom. This is a mountain range folks...elevation ummmmm 8-9 thousand ft. Further east Mt. San Gorgonio is the highest mountain in SoCal at a little over 10,000ft. This might help with perspective. As Mom said..nearly sheer drop to the vally floor from the 18 where they are fighting this thing.

I think helicopters can only fly up to 10,000 feet. Going up near their peak height, in wind, with fires, carrying water is not a routine procedure. Lives right now are more important than real estate. That is just how we are prioritizing things.

They just announced on KFI they are now closing I-15 through the Cajon Pass because of fires.
