San Diego Fires Update #13

The most recent changes to the KPBS Google map shows advancement of the Witch Fire on its south flank crossing El Monte Rd between El Monte Park and El Capitan Reservoir. This puts Flynn Springs and Interstate 8 within two miles of the fire line. Another arm of the Witch Fire is traveling south along Boulder Creek two miles west of Rancho Cuyamaca State Park.

I had a brief conversation with a rural firefighter at a sandwich shop this evening. She expressed concern about the northern front of the Harris Fire that there was a chance that fire might break out tonight and threaten Sloane Canyon, Dehesa, and Harbison Canyon. This battle is a long way from over.
