2:30 UPDATE; Pay attention to any evacuation warnings that may be issued. I am waiting for official word. Video from Neva Case taken at 1 pm I have not been able to upload. I got it on you tube, but can’t seem to navigate it to here. https://youtu.be/ukenLL2NxiI?is=CrH1WtNtSerkBm9d
11:00 am UPDATE: Watch Duty is showing 100 acres and 20% containment. I will try to post an update each hour today for as long as I can with power issue, or until I take a nap, if needed. LOL.
10:00 am – I have been following this fire since it started last night shortly after 7 pm. I got a notice from PulsePoint. WD had not alerted to it yet. I lost my power at 9 pm and have been trying to stay abreast via batteries and Jackerys. Not easy. The sun is shining directly on my solar panels, now, so hopefully I will be okay today. Too much use of my stand-alone ice maker for the last 3 days (all day, each day). I will try to keep this updated as my power allows.
There are five aircraft flying this now, I believe. Here is a photo taken from Apple Pie Ridge at 9:30 am:
Kate,
Watch Duty is showing 50% containment. Your picture is still showing movement. Hopefully they will get a handle on it soon. This is the second fire this week. Hope they are connected.
Richard
I meant not connected.
Thanks for the update Kate. Hope your power comes back on. Been watching it on WD. Stay safe everyone!
Richard and others WD is showing NO containment.
Mark, power hasn’t resolved, yet. What a PIS
All fingers and toes crossed that things go well today with stopping the fire.
Thanks for the update
WD showing 100 acres and 20% containment at 9:28.

Liggett and CalFire on it and out as of last night. Deer hunters with campfire.
Good luck up there.
Here are some pictures starting last night at 11:44pm from Coastlands, then we drove around today at 2pm and took pictures from vantage points from Nepenthe then drove south under the fire ridge looking up the canyon where the fire was pluming up in trees…then a view from Ventana looking south at 2:40pm. Marine layer has come back in on the coast so can’t see anything from home. Just heard sirens heading south on Hwy 1 for the first time fyi. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Mr1C1tc9PJqwph4c7
