Daughter called and said it is in the Pilot Rock area behind Arrowhead. We can see the header from Redlands. Hope they can get a handle on it quick!

This is what we see from Redlands. Not a real good pic but looks like it is growing.

Lastest view from the valley side. Afternoon prevailing winds in that area are going to push it right along to the east. I'm sure they are just trying their best to keep it away from the populated areas. Gonna be a smokey night in the high desert.

Havasufamily, 025, welldigger00 or any one else that might need to store a boat let me know. I have some room and I know of a few other places as well. Arrowhead is some of the most valuable real estate in So. Cal and certainly the jewell of SB County. They will throw the world at that fire to keep it out of those communities. On another note heard another fire broke out south of Temecula today. Haven't heard much about it.

Fingers crossed everyone. Now that the super-scoopers are here will they be able to assist?

Updated info,

6,400 acres. 6% containment. 4,700 evac orders.

Burning North by Northeast, Hwy 173 has been jumped.

Good News, Chipolte Mexican Grill is offering free food to those fighting the fire, not sure thats good or even suggested. Be Advised you have a 90% chance of getting sick.

So far so good. We were just checking it out, and it's slowing down because it's night times do the wind is calmer, but if the wind changes anytime soon, we're screwed.I got the dodge hooked to the Schiada, and everything is ready to throw in the truck. we're just waiting for uncle mike(air attack on the boards here) to tell me what to do. He's the battalion chief for the air attack division. When he tells me to go ahead and flip the fuck out, that's what I'll do.

Can anyone in the Hesperia/oak hills area see where the fire is heading? My parents house is in the evac area in Hesperia and they aren't home right now.

I'm near the Mesa on a hill, and from my vantage point, it looks to be heading north. But, it still seems to be east of the Mojave river. The wind is picking up and the smoke is pretty heavy.

Any idea how far north it has gotten? Hard to tell with all the smoke.
