Current Situation
Situation Summary
The fire continues to spread with the southeastern fronts showing the most growth. The fire made several significant runs at the Santiago Peak communications array this morning. The fire has crossed Ortega Highway and is actively impinging upon structures in the area. As of this posting, it is unknown how many, or to what extent.
Over 629 firefighters on the ground, along with helicopters and airtankers, continue to engage the fire on all sides to limit the lateral spread. Additional resources are in neighborhoods and communities, providing defense of residential and commercial structures.
Additional firefighting resource requests are being made to our partner agencies around the state. However, resource availability is strained due to the other active fires in the Southern California area.
