"FORWARD RATE OF SPREAD STOPPED"

MAJOR BRUSH FIRE
DULZURA AREA: MARRON VLY RD & 94
1:50 PM UPDATE

"FORWARD RATE OF SPREAD STOPPED"
STILL AT 120 acres and 15% containment.

BELOW IS NOT an official map. I put it together with information from residents and CALFIRE. It shows generally where the fire is in relation to Deerhorn, 94, the Gun Club, and Little Tecate Peak.
For the first time I heard they were both "holding" and "releasing" some of the fire equipment. Always a good sign.
Winds are running about 13-15 mph generally from the NNE and East. Gusts to 25 mph. Afternoon heating can change things quickly, though.
One helo went down with loss of hydraulic power, but managed to land safely. And yes, those were a couple of CALFIRE planes that went over in the last hour. They refuel at Ramona Air Station, so their flight path is over us.
Stay safe everyone. Hydrate. Give thanks for our firefighters. If you have Twitter, be sure to give a "LIKE" or "THANKS." They just posted a video of dozer strike teams in action there. https://twitter.com/CALFIRESANDIEGO
