It looks like the fire broke the lines in the southeast corner, any information or insight into what's going on there?
I am Bob Cole's dad. He has phone problems. Please add me to your fire status info email list. Thanx
You have to sign up yourself ... It is on the right, all the way at the bottom
Based on the IR map from early this morning, it appears the fire has jumped the Skinner Ridge line. It is in the Ventana Wilderness now. http://ftp.nifc.gov/incident_specific_data/calif_s/CALFIRE/2016_Incidents/CA-BEU-003422_Soberanes/GIS/Products/20160728/Ops_E_port_20160728_0236_Soberanes_CABEU003422.pdf
Yes, I agree. Many people are saying the same thing.

Hey Aka,
It looks like the Thursday 8am post on Xasauan Today has a bit of info on the breach of the southeast fire line. Check it out here:
https://xasauantoday.com/2016/07/22/soberanes-fire/
Quoted from the post:
"The fire line facing the Ventana Wilderness may be the lowest priority when it comes to protecting property, but if these heat detections are correct, it is becoming the biggest challenge to containment. Heat detected at 10:30 last night suggests a fire front continuing to move, outside the containment lines, along the ridge toward Pat Spring. This morning’s Operations Map, while it has not been updated to reflect this new movement, does show quite a bit of fire over the Skinner Ridge line."
Looks like a reverse end around Pico Blanco the opposite of 2008, the fire running east and South and then marching back to the coast. Expletive!!!
Yup, exactly. Jumped Skinner's Ridge. Leaving shortly for a trip to the Valley. A couple things I want to check.

God Please help the fire fighters contain the fire. Guide them for their safety. 🙏🙏🙏😔😔😔
Tree crews were littered along Carmel Valley Rd yesterday, looks like they were clearing over hanging limbs on the road. I live near the airport in the Village, 9 choppers were on the ground this morning.
Does anyone have any information on the Dozerlines in the south east of the fire, like how many cuts?
