There have been 1200 acres burned and fire crews are still battling. Downed powerline seems to be the culprit.

With the rain last night, its probably not a problem.

Fire is good as long as its controlled and not too dry.

I passed north on the ridge @ Blackstack Cliffs on Monday & got a great view of the fires to the northwest. The wind up there was gusting from the south thank goodness, because there would have been no fast way off that spine if the fires were moving south towards us.
