Recent Photo Taken from OHV Trail Intersection of Fire Advancing Towards
Sullivan Ridge
Jeff Applegate tells HQ there are no big changes overnight. It looks like they are going to use
Crackerbox as a fire line since it sounds like Gilmore has burned over on
top. Fire is still advancing toward Goat
Mt. and Little Stony Canyon. It has
apparently slopped over M5 in several spots and is moving south. Big and Little Sullivan ridges and everything
to the south is threatened. Also, Cal Fire has been using a DC-10 on the
Sites Fire burning West of Maxwell towards Stonyford. FS
says the plane is not practical to use on the Mill Fire. Little use of air tankers due to smoke. Mostly helicopters around the perimeter to
aid hand crews and dozers. A type 2 fire
team has taken over management of the fire as of yesterday.
Again, HQ believes this is a huge blow to the recreation
community as this unit is a premier destination OHV area that sees visitors
from throughout the U.S and Canada and is an important element in the
state-wide OHV recreation matrix.
