Trouble Near Jamul?

Update (10:23 AM):

Another photo capture at right. Unfortunately the smoke plume seems to be growing. It appears to be emerging from an area just south of Jamul Butte, just south of the gated community that is east of 94, a mile or so south of the town of Jamul. I can't tell where it is along an east-west line, but it seems to be fairly close to the butte itself…

Update (10:12 AM):

A reader just left a comment (thank you!) saying that everything was fine near the Catholic church in the town of Jamul; he lives nearby. He can't see far enough away to know exactly where the burn is…

I've been watching the Lyons Peak cameras very carefully this morning, and I just spotted some new smoke – dark gray smoke risking from the area just to the left of Jamul Butte in the photo at right (click to enlarge). I can't tell exactly where that is (too much smoke in the air), but in general it appears to be south of the town of Jamul, somewhere along the line between Lyons Peak and the Jamul Indian Reservation. Much of that area is open space, so this doesn't necessarily mean that any homes are threatened. Also, we heard on the news that in the area just south of there was the location of a large backfire placed last night as part of the firefighting operation; this could be remnants of that operation and so might actually even be good news. If I learn any more, I will of course post about it. If anyone still in the area knows more, please let me know…
