Thurs Eve Radical Ridge Update


FW from Yolkai--


Lasara at 5:40:

She's up at the property with a few other people, clearing more trimming debris.
Emrys is cutting a fire break up the ridge on the opposite side of the canyon across Jack Smith Creek with the excavator.
It's not been windy today.
They have one fire crew on hand, the capt. of which said he was told he should expect to be there 30 days.
Lasara said the fire appears to be making a slow, inevitable march toward the fire lines. It is burning slow, and moving slow, not usually climbing into the trees. It has passed Soren's cabin but a fire break around it may have held.
Firefighters still consider making an aggressive push to contain it, but it seems unlikely with limited resources and no air tankers.
Otherwise it's just kind of a slow torture at this point, unless the fire changes, until it hits a fire break and a stand is made.
