Remember the Ramp Fire. It was believed contained twice but erratic winds kept spreading it. The IC is now requesting a closure of 138 between Lone Pine Cyn and Hiway 2.

Shakey containment on second spot. Lots of embers blowing over line. Joshua trees are throwing embers everywhere. There is still a potential for additional spot fires.

CA5th · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 06, 07, 05:19:27 AM »

Unified ordering is now thorugh USFS. Two handcrews have been requested.

Just got a call from my daughter who is on her way home from work. She says the 138 is closed to Wrightwood due to a fire.
About 1/2 way up to the 2. Does anyone have more info?
