I believe so, yes. I think the FF are a bit up Angeles Crest, which is where that station is. (hooboy)
Fire is capping a ridge leading into Arrastre Cyn (unpopulated?)
Requesting immediate water drops.. guys in the hot zone are yelling for help north of the power lines. (north?)
Isn't the Thousand Trails campground right there? I remember taking a picture of a train around there a couple years ago.
I think the power facility is east of this fire....I know which one you are talking about, it is huge, but those lines appear to head over the mountains to San Gabriel?
But the fire's heading east/northeast?
It sounded like it was heading east....
putting people in safe zones doesnt sound too good
Action was 111 degrees, 12 mph, gusts to 22mph, humidity 7% at 2pm.

Idea of brush
Hard to believe it was 111 before all this. That's a full 15 degrees higher than here. But maybe.
Aliso Canyon next on the recon mission. ack!
You have freepmail.
Yeah, that's the one I'm thinking about. It's been a few years since I've been there, I remember watching fires burning in the hills around my home in Agua Dulce when I was young. Nothing quite like what has been happening lately. I was there 2 years ago and noticed just how much more dead brush had accumulated in many areas, the whole area looked like a tinderbox ready to go.
My shooting range is up there (several miles away presently). I haven't been up there this season but the brush was rather dense as I recall.
they are trying to get the 200 homes in Aliso Canyon covered with structure protection....
sound very worried about....

Just experienced a small power glitch. uhoh now I'm paranoid :)
