"Hard to see in photos but structures above the cafe appear to have all been saved but not for certain. #BOBCATFIRE"

Where is this? I don't recognize it. Thanks

This same ridge burned on 8/20/2010. I took this video from that same turnout:

I remember this day well. We had about 100 kids at the camp and it was a bit too close for comfort. I had not seen your video before. Well done, Bob!

Likely a wildfire imaging aircraft out of Chino currently flying a pattern (an extremely accurate one, it appears) over the the Bobcat fire. Prior flights over the El Dorado and Palm Springs fires.

This image of mileage is based on IR hot spots from 10 hours ago.
Approx distance from closest hot spot to Hwy 2 and Mtn High West

Looks good but we're still under a SB Sheriff's evacuation warning, right?

I might be reading the firemappers wrong- but it seems to have stopped/slowed down a lot. Been checking it every few hours. Lets hope...
