Spent the morning in Sierra Madre, listening to officials, talking to residents, visiting the fire line and taking in some sights and sounds.

While I was gone, an email arrived with a great map link. Here the link to an inciweb fire progression site.(thanks to the other Mala).

Here’s a couple of photos from a batch I took this morning.

This is on Baldwin Avenue, just south of Carter. The flames shot up through oak trees on a nearby ridge, while copters hovered overhead and residents and media looked on.
