Does that mean it started near Stockton Flat?

my guess based on where the road is and that rock scar on the right, the start is around here

I think? I used their cam

Nat Fire Sit Aware - Their hot spot detectors show something in Baldy Bowl and something on Thunder right now (15:56). I hope these are backpacking stove review and false positive.

EDIT to add: Alert Wildfire Cams in that area - of which Bailey Peak is one

Baldy ski area Facebook post video shows flames very close to ski area.

GOES sat is showing lots of heat now

I was on the San Bernardino Peak trail today and could see the fire. I also heard helicopters probably dropping water or fire retardant.

Now there's the Poppy fire by Agua Dulce.

Mt. Baldy Resort's FB page has a good video of operations up there.

They've posted a closure order for the Vista Fire. It affects trails around Baldy and Lytle Creek.

So the whole Icehouse Canyon area is closed?? Doesn't that seem a bit excessive?

I suspect they don't want hikers causing issues for the containment crews around Baldy.

From the service road/Devil's Backbone I took these photos of the aftermath.

: Scorched trees near the ski boundary.

: Looking down at canyon near Stockton Flat.

: Trees covered with phos-chek.

Doesn't look too too bad.

So access to our public lands is now governed by a private business? https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/angeles/ ... ?aid=89397

If you want to hike PCT just buy a ski lift ticket! Makes a lot of sense.

The closed portion of the PCT is largely within the SBNF and thus not covered by a lift ticket.

I think Blaise's tongue-in-cheek point was that you can't enter the closure area presumably for public safety reasons, but if you're willing to pay a private third-party business some money, all of the sudden those safety reasons disappear. Amazing how that works.
