#TimberFire #BigSur #MontereyCounty #LosPadresNF #Wildfires #CAwx
From Los Padres NF on FB (Info only): CURRENT SITUATION:
On the southern edge of the fire, work is complete on containment line from DeAngulo Ridge to Partington Road and on containment line on the Coast Ridge Trail southeast toward Highway 1. Work overnight continued behind homes east of Highway 1, with crews cutting handline to create a continuous containment feature behind them. The fire has shown very little activity there for several days.There is fire confirmed over the Pine Ridge Trail system, with rollout toward the Big Sur River. However, the fire remains to the south of the Big Sur River, which is a key containment objective. Dozer and handline have been completed to ensure that containment remains secure.
The eastern side of the fire was active overnight in the area of Olmstead Mountain. Containment lines previously opened with equipment are being reopened and opportunities for suppression closer to the fire’s edge are being assessed. Residents in Carmel Valley and in communities with access to previously utilized lines can expect to see equipment entering the area today.
WEATHER:
The trough of low pressure off the coast will continue to bring cooler and wetter conditions to the coastal side of the fire for the next several days , while the area above the marine layer and to the east of the fire can expect warmer and drier conditions with afternoon sunshine possible.EVACUATION ORDERS:
- MRY-F023
- MRY-F025
- MRY-F026
- MRY-F027
- MRY-F028-A
ROAD CLOSURES:
Highway 1 remains closed for public and firefighter safety. The northern closure is at mile marker 45.1 near the Big Sur Bakery, and the southern closure is near mile marker 37 at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.
For the latest evacuation information, visit Ready Monterey County: https://www.readymontereycounty.org/ Office of Emergency Management or up-to-date information on road closures, visit California Highway Patrol at https://www.facebook.com/CHPMontereyArea .
Residents in and near evacuation zones are encouraged to remain vigilant, stay informed, and follow all evacuation orders and warnings.

In those calls, according to the #USFS official with knowledge of the situation, Boren pushed for more aircraft to fight the fire even though “it was easily accessible by ground,” the official said.
He “was on the phone calling people that day asking why there weren’t more resources on the fire & when there was going to be more,” the official said.#law #AbuseOfPower #billionaires #Trump #RichWhiteMalePrivilege #NationalForest #PublicLands #wildfires #ClimateChange

Two other agency officials said he called those offices, including at least once in the middle of the night. [must be nice to have government resources at your personal disposal for your private property]
Six current & former #USFS officials said the response was far greater than what is typical for a fire of that scale that did not pose a significant threat to life or property.
