Running Springs/Orr/Montgomery Woods fire update - 6/29 at 11:45am

Good morning,

It is a busy, but quiet morning today. The fog was thick in our valley, and it is deliciously cool.

Shirlie and I just drove out to the back of the ranch, and there are 2 dozers and several crews working back there (mostly past Tara's). They are clearing the area with the dozers and chainsaws to be sure they can get in there to fight the fire if it comes up that way.

They also airlifted a chainsaw crew to the knob below the Peter's place to make sure that the small fire there is really out.

The mood of the crews is very positive, because they feel they are getting something positive accomplished. It is an impressive effort, and we are very glad to be getting all this attention!

It is our first 3-pots-of-coffee morning. We are headed back out in a minute, and I will try to get another fire map. I won't really know how the fire is progressing down in Montgomery Woods until I see one.

Best to everyone,

Rod
