N shore of Little Grass Valley Res to PCT & 27 road system - Fire did not jump firing lines. Continuing to monitor. Will only do firing if pushed by winds.
Crews "will be wind tested today." Winds anticipated up to 30 MPH in some areas due to gusts. (Sarah's note: up to 35 MPH in West Zone). 80% of embers that jump fire lines are most likely to ignite.
Fuels in Onion Valley slowing being consumed. Crews continue to monitor.
#NorthComplex#NorthComplexWestZone#BearFire USFS Update continued๐
Lines holding along NE part of LaPorte Rd. Note, community of LaPorte is not threatened, lines are in place if needed.
200 acre spot on north Oro-Quincy Hwy overnight. Team contained eastern flank, today working on western.
#NorthComplex#NorthComplexWestZone#BearFire USFS Update continued๐
USFS priorities today are keeping fire away from Haskins, Tollgate, Buck Lake, Meadows Valley infrastructure and keeping fire north of LaPorte.

Meadows Valley & Tollgate now under mandatory evac. "no imminent structure threat right now but w/lack of resources & wind surfacing we may have to shift from perimeter protection to structure protection"
My step-grandpa, Carl Richard Bischoff, died in Arizona yesterday after a five year fight with multiple myeloma. One of the most altruistic men I've ever known, he stepped in as a surrogate grandfather to me when my stepmom, BJ, became part of our family.

Almost 15 years ago we both under went surgeries- me dental surgery and Carl for colon cancer- like two freshman college roommates we were holed up together unexpectedly at BJ's house - eating soft foods, hopped up on pain killers and watching bad television for a week.

It was my first chance to get to know Carl, this man who was a new part of my family tree. He was born in 1933, the day after me, August 27, in Lancaster, PA. (We often celebrated our birthdays together!)
๐Forward progress stopped๐
This means the fire is no longer spreading, but it is not necessarily at 100% containment.
๐ฅ1/4 acre
Crews will be on scene for 3 hours
I will update THIS THREAD for the time being with any new information. ๐
This is on the Napa-Sonoma border, honestly. Just east of Sugarloaf State Park.
#WallFire is located in the Nuns Fire scar. That's "my" fire. And don't get excited - 2017 fire scars are ready to burn again - if you live here, you know.
