EISPIRATEN

Looks like it's on the northeast side of Cogswell Reservoir not far from the dam:

If I'm not mistaken, seems to be ascending Glenn Canyon towards Monrovia Peak as well.

For reference, I think the lower part of Cogswell-Rincon-RedBox connector road is visible sloping upwards just right of the dam - looks like the smoke is coming out of the canyons behind that ridge.

Dima and I happened to be up near Little Jimmy today.

We got turned back on ACH at 4:28. We decided to stop for food in Wrightwood instead. We’re here now.

The plume seen from Temple City. It's dropping ash on my parents' house.

Snowing here in NE Pasadena.

You can follow the progress in the archive of towercam images.

In the afternoon it split into a north and south front:


Then around sundown the flames started to show themselves:


And then it started to look more like the crack of doom:

And now it looks like something out of Hieronymous Bosch - The next time anybody tries to go to the Mermaids, it should be somewhat less brushy...

Saddened by the fire but great shots!

It advanced North quite a bit last night. Looks like Mermaid ridge is passable now indeed. And since I checked this morning the South front advanced a LOT. White Saddle has burned, or is about to. Taco WILL be able to hike all of Silver-Fish road!

No official map yet, but it's approaching 5000 acres in size with zero containment.

Probably another Station part 2 at this rate.
Granted there was 2,000+ assigned at part 1, but 100 should do it this time lol...total joke alll the way around.

I can say for sure that a fire is actually good for the area being burned...a clear indictment of our fire policy.
Now of course, it will be greater than SG wilderness, but who cares? The state wants it all burned.

Also,I feel for the residents, but this particular problem of Monrovia has been known for ages.
But there is pipelines they said, so no pre-burns...well, OK then.

I have spent a number of times at the Pasadena club steps resting of travels...its sad, such a nifty historical place.
Mr.Wetherby and his associated friends are such hospitable people. I hope somehow the cabin made it, but I noticed 2 hot spots right on it.

On inciweb what do the yellow vs. red marks mean?

At this point, Big Santa Anita Canyon and Monrovia Canyon could be in jeopardy.

Didn't burn in Station Fire, so plenty of fuel.

Sorry, I meant the caltopo map, not inciweb.

Just saw the flames cresting monrovia peak as I drove by about an hour ago... ?

Different colors show when that detection occurred. Red is the most recent.

man, that's sad... camped for a few days in Devil's Canyon near where it meets the reservoir ~6 weeks ago, a really cool area, tons of wildlife. There are a few buildings by the dam, which according to that caltopo map must be gone by now. Looks like it's only 3-4 miles from the eastern edge of the Station fire now.

Just saw the whole forest (and a bunch of others) are closed for the next week — https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/ltbmu/ne ... EPRD799171

Sucks but I think it's the right call to make right now.

We can see the flames now from across the valley in Alhambra.

Another valley of fire hellscape tonight:
The fishing club cabin is probably a gonner for sure - looks like Clamshell or Rankin is keeping it to the east for now...

I was looking up from Arcadia earlier as the fire came over Monrovia peak. There were two bulldozers clearing (or maybe re-clearing) lines near Clamshell peak.

RIP that one weed grow south of Twin Peaks

RIP that one weed grow south of Twin Peaks

And the various ones in the canyons just north of Twin Peaks.

Imagine what it's like to be the farmers. I guess they're walking out to the desert? Nobody's picking them up anywhere else.

What a difference a day makes. Cooler temps seem to have slowed it down a lot:

...the left of your picture I think is mostly a big plume of smoke out of the south. The fire is moving towards Wilson right now also(and fast)
Twitter shows the fire creeping down to Monrovia....had to do a double take. The winds have getting stronger for an hour and it looks like its going into the East Fork too.
I imagine all the fire force is cursing it now.

I stand corrected, embers picking back up with a reflective glow in the sky towards the left/north side and spots visibly further down Monrovia ridge to the right/south - it's like a bomb went off.

My mountains. I’m sorry.

Yeah, silverfish Truck Trail is likely easy to hike now. I rode partway up the road the other week to see what’s up, and teams cleared the road to the firebreak, where they hiked up. Once things calm down, I may hike the whole thing with my bike.

I’m real bummed about everything. I’m gonna distract myself now. Good luck, guys.

Looks like it's crossing the ridge into Santa Anita Canyon.
