{via email from resident in CPP - Thank you} Just got back from Crestline shopping at Goodwins (9:30 AM). They are trying to stay open with only three people, but mandatory evacuation will probably shut them down. Police are now enforcing evacuation. Saw several police cars pulling walkers and bikers over and telling them to leave now. Fire hasn’t come down into Crestline yet. I drove around Edelweiss to view fire. Fire seems to be slowly coming down the slope below Grandview St. in Twin Peaks, maybe a ¼ of the way down. It does seem to have traveled further south from last night on Grandview. As of 9 PM it hadn’t reached the Twin Peaks Police Station when I drove up with my motorcycle to take a look, but it looks as if it may have jumped passed it this morning heading to Strawberry Peak. Still looks to be burning strong north/northwest of Grandview Elementary, hopefully the school is safe. But, it’s hard to tell because of the smoke… I’m hoping they can hold the line and prevent it from dropping into Crestline, but I didn’t see any firefighters in containment mode right now. Let’s all pray for some air support. Looks like the officials are triaging the fires and they are considering us a patient with a burst artery and moving on. Let’s hope that’s not the case. Lake arrowhead should all evac because it seems that 18 is the established route out right now due to the 330 being closed. They don’t want to be trapped in. VOE and Cedarpines Park still have the 18 and 138 so we should be okay unless it jumps down into Crestline or the wind shifts and starts blowing over us. I’ll keep you updated. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire mountain community. I love this community and hope we all stand together as one. |

A little good news from ROTW Google Group: "Good News for Fairway and Grandview in Lake Arrowhead/Twin Peaks" - My son-in-law drove through up Hwy 189 through Grandview and then down
Fairway with a Fire Captain around 9AM and verified that although
there is very strong smell of smoke, there were no houses lost or of
immediate threat. Most of the trees in the hillside north of Fairway
are burned. There was no house burned on El Dorado as earlier
reported. A fire truck is stationed on El Dorado near Fairway, and
several fire trucks from other areas are at Grandview Elementary.
They are doing a great job putting out any spot fires. They tried to
reach Running Springs but were unable due to high winds blowing the
fire south/south west to hwy 18. |

ABC Ch 7 - per USFS incident commander - will try to get aircraft up over Lk Arrowhead this morning. Too windy to use aircraft over RS/Green Valey Lake fire. Have 1,000 people on the two fires - not enough but will do their best. The IC said this fire is a lot tougher to fight than the old fire due to wind pushing up slope and poor road access. 4 helicopters , 4 air tankers & DC10 on standby for air (Lk Arrowhead). concentrating on west side of Lk Arrowhead/Crestline fire today also. |

{Easy Street is the area where the fire jumped the 18. Earlier news media reports indicated structures burning on Easy Street.} |

Per phone conversation with USFS PIO Jim Wilkins, the fire came up on to Wilderness and burned several homes in upper Rowco. It crossed 18 and ran down Old City Creek. It jumped 330 to the north and east of Live Oak not below Live Oak. Some homes have been lost in lower Rowco. |

Re: Interview with John Miller, USFS - Estimates the Slide incident to be approx. 4000 acres at this time. Priority at this time is structure protection in the Smiley Park and Running Springs area. Estimated containment is 5% at this time. Fire officials pulled resources from Green Valley Lake at 10 p.m. last night, and have been unable to access area since, due to road being blocked by fire. Miller added that a strike team from Malibu has just arrived and will be deployed to the Smiley Park area. The other area on which they are concentrating efforts is the area west of Lake Arrowhead, and the Twin Peaks area. |

We are still hanging out in Crestline. We are at Lake Greg Dr and Nestal. There seem to be quite a few of us here according to your "standby" ROTW (thank you for that btw...). We have a view of the entire east side of the Lake Gregory Valley looking down on the baseball end of the lake. I don't see any movement on the part of the fire. In fact, it seems to have lessened and I don't think it's wishful thinking. Winds are actually a bit quieter than they were earlier, but still not near being calm. We are watching closely and will leave if we are in the way of firefighting efforts or if fire does come close. Until then, we are digging in. Luck and blessings to everyone both up and down. |

Just want to give you an update from our fire fighter friend who's been in the Deer Lodge Park area all day and has a home there.
No homes have burned in the Deer Lodge Park area. They are watching some hot spots behind the area, but it's blowing out west away from Deer Lodge. Power is on and some people were still staying in the area.
The fire started by power line fire on Edgecliff (according to eyewitness accounts) and homes were in danger through out the day along Edgecliff. The fire has burned homes on Brentwood Dr. which connects with Edgecliff at the Deer Lodge Park sign.
Also there was an incorrect report of two structures burned down on Klondike. As of 5 pm tonight, after the report was posted through the scanner, an eyewitness confirmed that no homes on Klondike, or Aleutian had been burned. The fire had stayed on the West side of the Golf Course and not crossed Grass Valley. The areas of Sandlewood looked gloomy with lots of fire hoses out on those streets.
Also, fire crews held off the fire at Cypress protecting several homes. Another fire fighter who lives on Squirrel reported this and also reported the fire alarmingly close to his house.
The Lake Arrowhead Resort is hosting the firefighters with Papaya Bay serving them food. The resort is closed to the public.
Power is still on in Lake Arrowhead. TV stations are not working here, but the internet is still working. Winds have calmed down a bit since about 4 pm today. Several helicopters were making runs over the Lake filled with water heading towards Grass Valley.
Lake Arrowhead Village is closed.
this update is from an eyewitness & local pastor (staying on to assist as a pastor) who lives next to the Lake Arrowhead Resort. |

I have a good view of the fire from my home in Cedar Glen. The fire is currently coming from the East and up the back side of the ridge above the care takers home at the Boy Scout Camp. It is possible that the upper part of the camp has sustained damage. The wind is blowing in such a way that it is moving West between Hwy 18 and the care takers home. Flames are now visible just behind the ridge. If the fire keeps moving like it has been, it will burn between Hwy 18 and Hook Creek. It is hard to tell at this point how far down the hill the fire will burn toward Hook Creek. It appears to be moving more West South West than North so I would expect the fire to burn well above any homes in Cedar Glen. Considering the fire's current direction of movement, the next areas of concern would appear to be be Heaps Peak and then Santa's Village as it moves toward Sky Forest and Cedar Ridge. I should be able to give a better idea tomorrow. So far, the fire is still a good distance from the homes and no homes have been damage in Cedar Glen.

{Originally they said nearly 125 homes have burned. Someone must have caught on that 113 + 13 = 128 and corrected the blog entry.}
More than 125 Homes Have Burned
Fire officials estimate that as of 3 p.m., a total of 113 homes have burned in the Grass Valley Fire and 15 in the Slide Fire, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller.
He emphasized that the numbers are rough estimates.
