I'm here at highway 2. It's not making very much progress West. There are firefighters at least halfway up the hillside. Correction, I can see one 3/4 of the way up the hillside.

Joe Schmoe · « **Reply #26 on:** Jun 11, 22, 08:46:27 PM »

To underscore the danger of what the firefighters are doing, I believe I just saw what they call a roller come binding down the hillside dangerously close to a number of personnel.

Last update from me. The west side of the fire hasn't moved much since we first arrived at highway 2. Lots of personnel on that side of the fire.

When you say "spot fire ahead" is that northeast into the wash or???

Somebody communicate this to fire officials. There's someone flying a drone in a white in a white pickup truck on right mountain road while the helicopters are flying around trying to fight the fire.

Not only is that person putting many lives in danger, he's committing a federal crime. These people infuriate me so much because fire officials have done so much work to spread awareness yet there are still brainless idiots who interfere with their drones.

He was landing it as we approached. Not sure if someone already said something or what his intentions were after, but I'm glad I made sure he understood the ramifications. Unfortunately, the water dropping helicopters stopped immediately at the exact time of sunset, so even if he were still thinking about flying nothing was up there as of when we left.

I've got an album which is a pretty good timeline of the progress of the fire: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Wggxckn6GXncv2NU6

The spot fires we saw before we repositioned two hwy 2 and sheep creek where still up on high, but on the next ridge over. Yes, to the northeast. When we left, on the way out on LPC we could see that the east side of the fire had made decent progress down off the hillside and into the flats in the wash since we last saw from that angle.
