JULIAN FIRE UPDATE

At about 9:30 PM we drove into town to get a first hand look at the fire, and we were surprised to see the whole mountainside behind town covered in spotty flames.
It looks like the fire had been burning for several hours before we heard about it, and had made its way from the ridge a few miles behind town, down along the face and into a valley. This is an estimation as it was dark and no land features were visible.

The Santa Ana winds have been blowing all week, and tomorrow is forecast to be the worst fire condition day yet with extremely low humidity coupled with very high winds.

Fire resources have been moving past the RV park since about 6:00PM. I did not hear any Air Tankers during the daylight hours, but they will be making runs at first light tomorrow. As we drove around town we saw fire crews from all over SOCAL staged in strategic positions for the morning scramble. We recognized CDF, San Diego City, US Forest Service, and the local crews.

Looks like they'll be busy tomorrow
