Worse case scenario is here.
Backfires are being used on 18; so far, so good.
Here comes the air support!!!!!!

- The eastern part of the fire is well established running toward Running Springs, Arrowbear, and Fredalba. It is fast; crews are establishing coordination and strategies now.

- Air support is on its way to coordinate with ground troops.

- From the fire captain on KTLA: As long as the winds stay South, the backfire should meet the main fire and MAYBE burn out a bit. It all depends on the winds staying their course. If the winds change toward the school.... well, let's not think that way. No air support yet.
