This flareup is growing very quickly. As best I can tell, the northernmost (leftmost) reach of it is in the near the intersection of Lyons Valley Road and the access road to Barrett Lake. The smoke is thick, dark gray, and ugly – new fuel is burning.The winds appear to be to the north or maybe a little northeast. The pall of smoke extends to the northwest, however – directly over our home, and therefore very worrisome, as that indicates the probable direction the fire will burn.
The rightmost extent looks like it's burning in the western reaches of Hauser Canyon.
As always, more specific information would be greatly appreciated.
We need those firefighters and aircraft…
Hi SL, its hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but it appears tht maybe the fire is mostly burning downhill towards Lyons Valley Road, and the area from where the Drinkard trailer has been parked on the side of the road, and the turnoff to go fishing at barrett?
ReplyDeleteIt would be very dangerous to put crews above any active fire that size, but especially while its growing like that.
Below there would be lots of rocks and boulders tumbling down as chaparral holding them burns, also prob some burning limbs and such.
We did see lots of apparatus scurrying around in RSD and also in our area by Pius X when we returned home about 1300.
I hope they can get a line on it and keep it in between the lake and what already burned in the horse fire.
I hope it has not jumped Lyons or skyline in the area around four corners.
hang in there, the folks over here are hoping and praying for you all and the FF and our peeps in Deerhorn/upper honey springs
