Montgomery Woods/Running Springs Fire update 6/27 9:00am

Running Springs AM fire report FWD from Linda:



Hi neighbors,

Not much to report here. The smoky holding pattern continues.

There is almost no wind. It was 70F @ 6:00am. Humidity is in the fifties (rising), NWS spot forecast for RS calls for 88F today.

I drove out to Q’s this am. Not much to see. The ridge is still there without any obvious billows or wisps, although visibility is not great. No visible activity off of Rod and Shirley’s west ridge although the smoke there is thicker than anywhere else.

I drove down to Orr and ran into Paula returning from the springs. The 2 of us sat in the middle of the road chatting for 10 minutes and watched a tree flame up maybe 100 yards above (SE) of the resort. I am sure smaller activity is there but the background smoke is so thick that unless you are on top of a smoldering spot you don’t notice it. It looked like the flaming tree was west of the new fire break coming down the hill from Rod’s
