ANF website , I dont know but think its a good idea until they can get some of the recent stuff out. One more fire around here and I might not be able to breathe! muchless see anything.

If true, I hope they throw the book at them -- and charge them for the fire fighting expense.
I'm not at all sure that fining that Boy Scout thousands of dollars was the right thing to do, but if these two fishermen started that fire, then I have NO doubt that a fine would be the right thing to do.
Here are some pictures, mostly from the San Rafael Hills near Flintridge Sacred Heart School around 4 PM. (There are a couple from in front of my house this morning.)
In this picture, the 210 Freeway, La Canada HS, and JPL are in the foreground.
The map of the burn area on the Star News Web site is greatly exaggerated. I went up Ocean View a ways and the fire is nowhere near that far west on the south slopes. This map is more accurate.
This GE image shows the areas of Active burning detected on the pass overs at 5:50 GMT and 10:14 GMT (10pm 8/28 & 3am 8/29 local)
Seems strange the fire has retreated to it's "core" (mostly) with an extension toward Colby Cyn and upper Arroyo Seco toward Red Box
I'm not sure where others are seeing information on Millard Cyn being affected but I see no evidence it has gotten in there
But OTOH I have first hand reports the fire is in Silver Cyn too so who knows...confusion reigns!
Is it threatened..you bet... Will it get there who knows... this fire is crazy.... extreme behavior for sure, I hate to think what it'd be like with some Santa Ana's

No direct evidence, just with how much it spread yesterday (1 day!) and how close it is, and no effort to contain the "back end" of the fire (just save the expensive houses....). Pessimistically inevitable....

Two cameras...
Can you offer any encouragement on how larger animals deal with fire? I'm much more worried about that than my gear. I've read the lions can easily move out of the area, but then they have to deal with being in another's territory, plus loss of food & water. And the smoke is bad enough here - I hope they find some sheltered areas.
