Latest MODIS Map...
Here's a photo of a tanker drop Dr. Eric Walter, of U.C. Hastings Natural History Reserve, took at 3:17 pm today. The tanker is visible to the left of the red streaming ribbon to the right of the pic.
The shot was taken from the top of Poison Oak Hill looking over Carmel Valley Road towards Chews Ridge. This photo shows the fire that has jumped the dozer line. A new dozer line is being constructed in the hopes of containing it should air support not be able to stop it.

News from "Anonymous" commenting on radio scanner traffic...
"The pilots (fixed wing and rotors) all seem happy with the progress today. I guess tonight will be the test, eh? I'm not sure what happened last night that it jumped the dozer line without anyone noticing until this morning. But, all the radio traffic seems fairly calm. I'll let you know if I hear anything."
Thanks, Anon! (very Shakespearean,no?)
