Sounds like they're going to set up a pumpkin off the 38 to aid filing the helos

What doesn't kill me does NOT make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy, and vulnerable...but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow...Lisa Kogan...thx LXL...sorry i stole it from you! Ok, maybe I'm not sorry :-P

Thanks to Cy (firephoto84) for the text message alerting us of this fire, and thanks to Mother's Day (we were in Yucaipa visiting mom) we were able to head over to Forest Falls and get some photos:

We arrived at the fire at 1:12pm and here's what we found:


Helicopter 305:


I'm not sure if the helicopter made the smoke below it swirl of if it's just coincidental placement:


H-305:


H-305 again:


A crew from Oak Glen arrived a while after we got there:





Helicopter 902:


Clouds increasing around the fire as a storm moves in:


A couple shots of the fire units at the Momyer Trailhead:





902 going back for more water:


H-305 going in for more water:


Orange County Fire Authority Copter 2 arrived to help out, but by then the fog had really shrouded the fire and I don't think they were even able to make one drop on the fire:


Fog completely obscured our view of the fire, so we left after this:
