Update – 2 fires from one ignition point – Wind driving fire north

 

 

The south wind is actually sending the blaze back into the canyon on itself and allowing officials to map
the hot spots with smoke clearing and visibility improved.

This clearing lets us see two fires – one high up two ridges east of Manuel’s Canyon. That canyon area is receiving the most attention until it is out.
