panza > About 8PM, roughly 1/2 hr. after 1st alarm, this fire is becoming a serious event. What had initially been just a small patch at the bottom of Owl Canyon has now run up the sides and back of that canyon. Because it started at least 1/4 mile back away from the Quarry Road it was inaccessible to our firefighters. Even though it was initially expanding rather slowly, mainly westward (to the right in this shot) toward the Quarry due to the back-eddy of the breeze coming over the ridge, Capt. Murphy had struck a second alarm immediately upon his first assessment. The prudence of that decision was borne out as the fire gained momentum and started advancing quickly eastward toward town.

panza > The inferno in Buckeye Canyon illuminated the smoke above. It was menacingly visible to the residents of Trinity and Kings, who had been evacuated to the Community Park, as they looked back up to see their spur-ridge silhouetted in orange. Although the fire was spectacular to see at this point, and many spectators came to watch, the actual threat to our town from this fire had been substantially contained. We're so lucky the wind was relatively light that night!
