McToddy, I was thinking that same thing. What's the point of posting an update which is identical to the previous statement 20 hours ago. They could have at least altered a few words...

I was hoping CalFire had an update on things, but nothing new since yesterday's 348 acres assessment

Yep. There goes John Bull and 3N43 for a while.
Hard to telll from incident report exact ignition point of gold Fire. Looks Too far north for SCE lines. Interesting that it’s called the gold fire and there’s a couple of claims in there where miners dry wash. Small gas engines on ground and pine duff; what could go wrong? Wasn’t up there this weekend to see what’ was going on. Hopefully it’s a learning experience.

Good morning, Power is also out in Arrowhead.

Power went out here in Running Springs about 10 minutes ago at 5:05 am.

That's a very encouraging update, SCM Alert. Thanks! We'll sleep a bit better now.

I can still hear the helio go right over our house. Makes the house shake but love hearing and feeling it.
