Verbal report from the CDF, at 12:10PM: the hotspot that is leftmost on the map in the previous post has flared up, and is burning rapidly to the northeast, up Secret Canyon toward Pine Valley and Guatay. There are voluntary evacuations of Guatay and Pine Valley underway, along with Carveacre.
There’s a lot more smoke in the air, quite suddenly.
This is not good news, but it doesn’t look like any increased threat to our home. But the fact that Carveacre keeps popping up is really bothersome — it’s the closest community to us (line of sight), and according to all the information I have, the fire is burning away from it. So why is it being evacuated?

ReplyDeleteHi There,Are you still up monitoring the fire or did you go to sleep? It’s too hot to sleep anyway! Let me know if there’s anything I can provide for you if the winds change.Simon
Hi, Simon…
ReplyDeleteWe finally went to bed, after things looked like they were calming down. I see from the satellite data that the fire is considerably down this morning (I’ll post shortly)…but there’s a breakout closer to our home…
