UPDATE 11 am – fire is pretty much out. Aircraft released and back to Paso. Here are a trio of photos from one of the firefighters, Brandi Plaskett (yup, one of those descendants)
From Rohana. Em called 911, I called the PV Station direct and spoke to a “live” person. This is on Nacimiento Rd. At approximately mm 4. Make sure and scroll for most up-to-date info.
New pic just taken. It is clearly backing down the ridge in a south-westerly direction.
Oh, this ought to play havoc with that massive convoy of trucks, supplies, and equipment today for the bridge.
At 9:27 am –
Okay, ladies and gents, anytime now would be good.
9:35 am –
Now would be a good time to send in those tankers.

Let them in and look what happens!
I'm in town. I did see a car camping in that turnout on my way over the hill this morning.
ah, geez... can the assets in FHL be accessed for this?
There is a mutual aid agreement between the USFS and FHL. If needed, they can ask for mutual aid.
strong NW winds on the ocean already today, and when the land heats up it will change the wind up there to strong onshore... dang. did you get your clearance completed Kate?
No, on the fire clearance, a lot, but not all. It is quite a ways from me at this point, and tanker should be able to handle it, I think, and it is here.
FHL was requested by BSVFB. Units from LPF are en route as well as CalFire, and BSVFB. I am hoping that the convoy has been stopped in any area they could pull over as to leave the road open for fire resources.

I keep trying to type something here, but it keeps turning into a lengthy rager complaining about how ILLEGAL camping on N-F IS and Mo. Co. wanting tourism dollars more than public safety and locals in general!!
I'll just leave it at that and keep checking back here today to see if I can make it home from SLO! Sure don't want to spend the money on a motel 2 nights! goddam tourons!
I spotted a couple roadside camping with a fire in that general area Saturday night. Cautioned couple to douse fire and took their plate. Must be unrelated, but, saw no patrols at all as I went east. No patrols? No [frequent] signage indicating that fires are illegal? Reduced legal camping spaces this year? What is 2+2?
Prayers and positive vibes the fire is under control and minimal burn area!!
It is a done deal now.
