Crews will continue to actively monitor and patrol containment lines in preparation of forecasted Santa Ana conditions. These conditions include increased temperatures, lower relative humidities, and increases to wind speed as well as a change in the wind direction. These changes are resulting in critical fire weather conditions that will occur late tonight and into tomorrow. Fire activity remains around Mt. Lewis area where the fire has made its way down to the bottom of the drainage. Crews are engaged in actions to stop the forward rate of spread. Fire activity from PiƱon Ridge to Dorr Canyon has moderated and crews continue to patrol and mop-up any residual heat sources. The island of unburned fuels northwest of Mt. Wilson continues to burn out. Firefighters are actively monitoring and patrolling to make sure it does not move outside of the lines. Repopulation efforts continue with help from Los Angeles County Occupancy support. For more information visit: https://rb.gy/flykjl.
