From Alice again
Randii and my kids are watching the fires from a spot where they can see parts of the Meadows and La Vina
Fire has hit parts of what appears to be Rising Hill Road. Planes hitting it hard with retardant. Flames approaching a power tower on hill and flared up and heading to La Vina.

Fire seems to have burned out of fuel immediately in view at end of canyon crest. It was raging upslope a few hours ago. Great job on fire drops seems to have contained from where we can see. It’s very quiet right now, smoke still rising from eastern side, maybe behind La Vina and western areas towards La Canada.
I have limited visibility from the canyon, wish I could report more.
