7:30 pm — IC reports fire is holding @ 52 acres & is now 30% contained, should have dozer line around it in the next hour. All aircraft have been released/diverted to other incidents.
7 pm – fire has slowed considerably, so release some aircraft, the hand crews of BEU are completely depleted from the Hunter, Stage, and Vista, east of San Juan Bautista. I have more photos from the Stage Fire, but technical difficulties are preventing me from uploading them.



4:45 pm — New fire at Old Stage and Williams road. Local government only at the moment. Seems to be a delay in getting BEU started. They have told their dispatch multiple times that this is a big fire and in the SRA.
Was 5 plus acres when the first unit got on scene. Structures are threatened.
BEU is just now dispatching
